Jomarlin:
Here is some feedback:
1- This would be a startup and would need startup financing.
2- Banks do not give loans to startups without other factors coming in to mitigate this. {think SBA, think strong guarantor. Think additional collateral}
3- You did not mention anywhere your equity contribution. Even in the case of an SBA guarantee, you will need 25% of the total as a minimum. {think investors}
4- lack of historical information means that you need a business plan.
5- There are some places such as www.score.org that can provide someone that will go over the numbers with you.
Good luck
