Small Business Questions
Got a question? Ask us!
A Australian business may be able to benefit from a loan or grant. Each program is different and has its own eligibility requirements and intended uses. Loans also have different interest rates, terms and repayment schedules. Grants typically require more time and effort to be approved for than do loans, although the former have the benefit of not needing to be repaid. On the other hand, most government loans are more favourable than bank options.
