Is a government funding program the only way to finance a small business in Ontario and Alberta?

A government funding program is not the only way to finance a small business located in Ontario and Alberta, but it may be amongst the most reliable and least risky. Involving family and friends as investors in your small business, for example, could lead to hurt feelings and damaged relationships if everything does not go according to plan, and bank loans usually come with unreasonably high interest rates.
