Although it is possible to work the system to get some Australian government small business loan programs to help you in other ways. These may include using a loan for your home based small to help pay for some necessary renovations, in general these small business loan funds are for commercial use. Unlike Australia small business loan programs, state loan funds focus on interests within the state such as businesses that will bring jobs and revenue into the state’s economy rather than elsewhere in Australia.

Get your small business funded through government grants, loans and private investor programs. To get access to our Funding Database which has hundreds of funding programs, become a member today.
