It's much better to get money from "angels" which are just folks that when you show them a business plan, that includes how you will pay them back, they will give you the money. There is not a shortage of money out there, there is a shortage of people who are focused on what they really want and put it in writing...create a game for people to play and then invite them to play.
It's much more important to be clear on what you want, put it in writing, with your budgets and proforma (profit projections)...somebody with your kind of ambition and focus will impress people with money. Then you can focus on banking relationships once you get stuff rolling. Contact me for free business plan templates, but if you are under age, then have your parents contact me.

If you have a solid business plan, you can get a loan from a bank. That is what they do. Make an appointment with their loan officer, be on time, be professional, get the loan. Best of luck.

I agree that you should have a solid business plan before you start looking for funding.
Go to your bank and speak with them about SBA loans, what it would take for you to qualify, etc. They should give you the information you need to know on how to qualify for an SBA loan.
You should also check out the American Business Women's Association.
