Does having a business in Ontario make applying for loans & grants from the provincial government any easier?

It may, as different government programs have certain conditions, with provincial conditions being a common qualifier, especially for grants. You may encounter a number of loans & grants programs designed specifically for residents of Ontario, and it may be to your benefit to apply for programs like that specifically. This will not be true in every instance, but the typical chance of acceptance should increase in such cases.
