Interest-based loans to establish business : a loan to start a business

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh, Dear Scholar, I lost my job and couldn't find another one, even after several months. I have, praise to Allah Subhanah, good skills that allow me to run my own business. But I have no money to start. Is it lawful (Halal) to get loan from a bank with interest to start my own business, out of my current necessity ? Somebody told me that if I get this kind of loans, I have to purify my business from interest. But how can I purify it, knowing I will not "take" any interest.... I will, actually, "pay" interest to the bank ? Jazakom Allah Subhanah.
