Caveat: depending on if you are getting a loan from a financial institution or taking private investment, they will either want collateral (if the business fails, we will sell your house to cover the debt) or will want a pretty big chunk of the equity (we’ll take the risk that the business fails as we loose all our money, but in return we want to own 50+% of the business, have the final say on decisions, and take a good chunk of the profit if you are successful)
Unless its a low enough number that the bank would accept an unsecured personal loan application. The twist there is that interest rates on those are usually very high.

If you don’t have money to protect the idea legally speaking, you’d just be giving your idea away to a richer person by doing this.
