Government-funded small business loans can help you launch or sustain your small business. With government-funded small business loans, you may be able to secure financing when other more traditional lenders hesitate. In many cases, these loans come with special services, like business plan counselling, mentoring, courses, or workshops. Because of the additional support available from these programs, recipients of government-funded small business loans may actually find themselves better prepared to succeed than if they'd simply used a line of credit or (eek!) credit cards.
