Do government sources operating in Canada provide small business owners with better loan options than does the bank?

Not all government sources operating in Canada will necessarily provide small business owners with better loan options than all those provided by a bank, but most will meet this description because government loans are intended to help entrepreneurs rather than make money off them via interest rates. In general, this means you are better off trying to get the financial assistance your business needs from a government agency rather than from a private financial institution, such as a bank.
