Does the Canadian government offer small business loan programs?

The Canadian government does have loan programs in place that renew each year for the purpose of helping small business owners who want additional funding to complete their entrepreneurial objectives. The entrepreneurs who are awarded loans remain eligible to pursue other forms of funding at the same time, including private loan funds or Canadian government small business grants. If you do not find a small business government loan you can use in Canada, you may want to look into the government loans at the national tier or at the local level.
