If you are providing a service and making from it it's a business. Even if you're not making money (i.e. not successful) it's a business. Just because it's on the Internet that doesn't mean it's not a business. You still need to register the business and depending on what type of business you may need to be licensed. You still need to pay taxes.

And, no, the SBA will probably not give you a loan. They will require excellent credit, 30% of your own cash, a business plan and experience in the industry.
