Miami-Dade County is home to one of the most entrepreneurial ecosystems in North America. With over 490,000 registered small businesses, a massive immigrant entrepreneur base, and industries spanning hospitality, construction, healthcare, and international trade, Miami businesses generate significant revenue — but they also face significant cash flow challenges.

The seasonal nature of tourism, high commercial rents in areas like Brickell and South Beach, and the capital-intensive demands of construction and foodservice make access to fast, flexible funding critical. Traditional banks in Miami are notoriously slow and selective, often requiring 2+ years of financials and collateral that many small business owners don't have.

MFE was built specifically for business owners like you — whether you need $20,000 to cover payroll during a slow season, $150,000 to buy commercial equipment, or $75,000 to fund a restaurant buildout in Wynwood.

Medical clinics, dental offices, chiropractic practices, and home health agencies across Miami rely on equipment financing and working capital loans to manage billing cycles and expand services.

Miami's role as a gateway to Latin America makes it a hub for freight, trucking, and logistics companies. We finance truck purchases, fleet expansion, and working capital for transportation operators.

Import/Export & Trade

Miami Success Story

Little Havana Restaurant Expands to Second Location with $95,000 MCA

A Cuban-owned restaurant on Calle Ocho had been operating for 4 years with strong revenue — averaging $42,000 per month — but the owner's credit score of 570 made traditional bank financing impossible. When a second location opened up nearby, he needed capital fast.

MFE approved a $95,000 merchant cash advance in 18 hours. The advance was repaid through fixed daily ACH payments over 8 months. The second location opened on schedule, and within 6 months it was generating $28,000 per month in additional revenue.

"The bank laughed at me. MFE funded me in a day. I now have two restaurants and I'm looking at a third." — Miami Restaurant Owner

Frequently Asked Questions — Miami Business Loans

Can Miami businesses qualify for funding without perfect credit?

Yes. MFE works with Miami business owners with credit scores as low as 500. We evaluate your business revenue and cash flow, not just your credit score. Many Miami entrepreneurs — including those who've faced setbacks — qualify for working capital or MCA products.

Do you fund businesses in neighborhoods like Little Havana, Wynwood, or Hialeah?

Absolutely. We fund businesses across all Miami-Dade County neighborhoods including Little Havana, Wynwood, Hialeah, Coral Gables, Aventura, Doral, Miami Beach, Overtown, Liberty City, and Kendall.

Can I get a business loan in Miami with an ITIN instead of an SSN?

Yes. MFE accepts ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) in place of a Social Security Number. This is especially important in Miami's large immigrant business community. You can apply with an ITIN and a Florida business license.

How fast can a Miami business get funded?

Most Miami businesses receive a funding decision within 4-24 hours of submitting a complete application. Funds are typically deposited within 24-48 hours of approval. For MCA products, same-day funding is sometimes possible.

What is the minimum revenue requirement for a Miami business loan?

We require a minimum of $8,000 per month in gross business revenue. Your business must also be at least 3 months old and operating in Miami or South Florida. A Florida business license or DBA is required.

Can Miami restaurants qualify for working capital loans?

Yes. Restaurants are one of our most frequently funded business types in Miami. We understand the seasonal nature of Miami's hospitality sector and offer working capital, MCA, and equipment financing specifically suited for restaurant operators.

Is a Florida business license required to apply?

You should have a registered business entity in Florida — either a Florida LLC, corporation, or a registered DBA (fictitious name) with the Florida Division of Corporations. This verifies your legal operation in Miami.

What industries in Miami does MFE fund?

We fund businesses across Miami's top industries including restaurants and hospitality, construction contractors, retail shops, healthcare practices, transportation and logistics companies, beauty salons, import/export businesses, and more.
