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 business loans can Ontario businesses get?

The lenders on this page fund Ontario businesses from small working-capital advances to seven-figure term loans, with merchant cash advances, lines of credit, and equipment financing in between. Approval usually rests on monthly revenue and time in business rather than credit score alone, and funding commonly lands within 24 to 48 hours.

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

Because commercial lending has its own federal rules. Loans of $10,000 or less are held to the 35% APR criminal rate like consumer credit, loans between $10,000 and $500,000 are exempt if they stay at or below 48% APR, and loans above $500,000 have no rate cap. That is what makes merchant cash advance factor rates lawful.
