Other than loans from banks, is there a source of financial assistance in Ontario besides banks?

Whether you own a small business in Ontario or elsewhere, the Canadian small business owners have a wealth of financial assistance options available to them besides banks. The government of Ontario, as well as that of the provincial and Canada as a whole, can act as a source of government loans and grants to qualifying small businesses. Grants are usually the most desired option. However, even government loans tend to provide financial assistance on terms that are more favourable than those provided by banks and the like.
