Why business rates can differ from consumer caps
  • The federal criminal interest rate of 35% APR applies to commercial loans of $10,000 or less
  • Commercial loans between $10,000 and $500,000 are exempt from the 35% cap if the rate does not exceed 48% APR
  • Commercial loans above $500,000 are not subject to a rate cap
  • This is why merchant cash advances and short-term business financing can price above consumer loan rates

Common questions

What do I need to qualify for a business loan in Canada?

Most lenders in our network want $10,000 or more in average monthly sales and at least one year in business, though several fund earlier-stage operations at smaller amounts. Approval usually rests on revenue and time in business rather than a personal credit score, and lenders verify through bank statements or payment processor data rather than full financial statements.

Why do business loan rates go above the 35% consumer cap?

Commercial lending has its own federal rules. Loans of $10,000 or less are held to the 35% APR criminal rate like consumer credit. Between $10,000 and $500,000 the exemption allows up to 48% APR. Above $500,000 there is no rate cap at all. That is what makes merchant cash advance factor rates lawful, and why comparing a factor rate to an APR without converting it is misleading.

How fast can a Canadian business get funded?

Commonly 24 to 48 hours for working capital and merchant cash advances, longer for larger term facilities that require more documentation. The application runs online and most lenders decide within a day.

What is the difference between a term loan and a merchant cash advance?

A term loan is a fixed amount repaid on a schedule at a stated rate. A merchant cash advance buys a share of your future sales at a factor rate, so repayment flexes with revenue and there is no fixed end date. The advance is faster and easier to qualify for; the term loan is almost always cheaper if you qualify for it.
