You will need to present your business plan, and negotiate an interest rate

consult a bank about a start up loan, if your business plan is good, they will give u a loan. or else go to the local government business support agency.. eg. in northern ireland, the Invest NI deals with these start ups.

If you are in the US, check with the SBA ( Small Business Administration ). They have a program that may give you a slightly better loan rate from participating banks.

If you are a veteran of the US military, check for the VA loan program.

If you have sufficient equity in your home, and don't mind assuming the risk of putting your house on the line, check out HELOCs.

If you have relatives, ask if they would be willing to invest in your company for equity participation ( shares of the company ).

Finally, check out venture capitalists and angel investors, there may be someone who is willing to take a risk on your company.
