Should I look at government loans before looking at private business funding?

You most certainly should look at government loans before looking at private funding for your small business. The Australian government has many grants and loans in place to assist small businesses with their financial needs. The advantage of obtaining a loan or grant from the Australian government grants and loans programs for small business funding is that in many cases the interest rate is much lower than what you would find in a private funding sector.
