This seems like a relatively low risk business(if there is such a thing). Have you tried applying for a business loan? the people at http://www.pasbdc.org/ might have a list of alternative lenders.

I have looked at some of their information, my main problem is the fact that we have no collateral to put up and due to our financial situation we cannot contribute and funds to the project...which is the reason we are trying to find an angel or other private investor.
