What Business Loans Cost in Miami-Dade County in October 2026
Business loan pricing in Florida follows the same benchmarks as the rest of the country, and the benchmark moved in September: the prime rate rose to 7.00% on September 17, 2026, after the Federal Reserve’s first hike since 2023. Here is what that means by product right now.
| Product | How it is priced | Typical cost at Prime 7.00% |

| Online term loan | Fixed rate, set at funding | 10% – 36% APR; higher for weaker credit |
| Equipment financing | Fixed rate, set at funding | 9.9% – 24% APR |
| Revenue-based / MCA | Factor rate, fixed payback | Factor 1.11 – 1.50 (roughly 20% – 90%+ APR equivalent) |
What a 0.25-point Prime move does to a $250,000 SBA 7(a) loan (10 years, Prime + 3)
Principal and interest only. The next Fed decision is October 28, 2026; see our prime rate guide for scenarios.
Fixed-rate products you already hold do not change when Prime moves; lines, SBA variable loans and HELOCs do. Full detail in Prime rate is 7%: what it means for business loan rates and factor rate vs APR.
What Lenders Look for in a Miami-Dade County File
Lenders underwrite a Miami-Dade County business the same way they underwrite one anywhere else: deposits, time in business, personal credit, existing debt and, for larger amounts, collateral. The Federal Reserve’s 2026 Small Business Credit Survey shows how those odds play out by product nationally.

- Bank statements: the last three months (six for larger amounts). Steady deposits of $20,000 a month or more are the minimum for every product in our network; higher deposits open larger amounts.
- Time in business: sometimes six months for revenue-based products, one year for most term loans and lines, two years for banks and SBA.
- Personal credit: 500+ for revenue-based financing, 600 – 650 for most online term loans and lines, 680+ for bank and SBA pricing.
- Existing advances: stacked daily-payment positions are the most common reason a strong Miami-Dade County file gets cut down. Ask about a reverse consolidation first.
- Florida paperwork: a Sunbiz-registered entity in good standing, an EIN, a business bank account in the entity’s name and a Florida driver’s license or ID for every owner of 20% or more.

Florida’s Commercial Financing Disclosure Law and Your Rights
Since January 1, 2024, Florida’s Commercial Financing Disclosure Law (HB 1353) has required providers of commercial loans, lines of credit and receivables purchases of $500,000 or less to give Miami-Dade County borrowers a written disclosure at or before signing. It must show the total funds you receive, the dollar cost of the financing, the payment schedule and any prepayment charges. The law also sets rules for brokers: no advance fees beyond actual costs, no false or misleading statements, and every advertisement must list the broker’s address and phone number. Violations carry fines of $500 per incident, up to $20,000.
What to do with the disclosure. Read the dollar cost line and the payment schedule, then ask for the same numbers from a second lender. The disclosure does not have to show an APR, so convert the cost yourself with our factor rate calculator. Any provider that will not put the numbers in writing before you sign is telling you something.
How Florida compares with other states is covered in merchant cash advance disclosure laws by state.
