Yes, you can buy an interest rate swap. But I don't know how readily available they are to small businesses.

I think you can accomplish interest rate hedging with Eurodollar (apparently now SOFR) futures contracts which are traded on open markets? But I agree with the other poster that OP should find a finance person.
