E-commerce funding in Florida — what to expect.

Florida-based e-commerce sellers — Amazon FBA, Shopify stores, eBay sellers, dropshippers, and DTC brands — typically use MCAs or revenue-based financing to pre-fund inventory ahead of Q4 holiday sales. Many graduate to LOCs or product-specific lenders (Wayflyer, Clearco) as they scale.

Typical funding range

$10,000 – $500,000 — that's the band most e-commerce in Florida fall into. Deals smaller than $10K are uncommon (the math rarely works for the funder). Deals over $250K typically require stronger profiles or collateral.

What funders look for

  • Platform-specific lenders (Wayflyer, Clearco, Shopify Capital) often beat generalist MCA pricing for established stores
  • Pure MCA: 6+ months operating, $15K+/mo revenue
  • Strong platform metrics (positive review velocity, low return rates) help underwriting
  • Returns and chargebacks are flagged risks — high return rate reduces approved amount

What to bring to the application

The faster you can ship these to a funder, the faster you close. Most underwriting decisions for e-commerce in Florida happen in 2–4 hours once docs are complete.

  • Last 3–6 months business bank statements
  • Platform export (Shopify, Amazon Seller Central) showing revenue + returns
  • Voided business check
  • Driver's license for the majority owner

The math

A typical e-commerce deal in Florida lands at a factor rate between 1.25 and 1.42. On a $50,000 advance at 1.32, you'd repay $66,000 over 9–12 months — about $260–$305/day in ACH. Our factor rate calculator lets you plug in your own numbers.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wayflyer or Clearco cheaper than a generalist MCA?
Typically yes, for stores already on those platforms with strong sales velocity. They underwrite using your platform data directly, which lets them price tighter. We route e-commerce leads to them when fit is good.
Can a Florida Shopify seller doing $30K/month qualify?
Yes, comfortably. At $30K/mo with 12+ months operating, you're in A/B-paper territory across most MCA funders. Expect factor rates 1.25–1.35 and a deal size up to $35K–$45K.
Does Amazon FBA inventory count as revenue?
No — only actual deposits from Amazon to your business bank account count. Underwriters look at the trailing 3 months of deposits, not inventory value or product cost.
