As a s-corp you can def say that you work for the company. You can definitely get a bank account under the business so long as you have a local business license. As far as loans I think the main thing is that you have been business for a while. I think it is 2 years... 4 if you are getting a loan for a house.
I'm no lawyer... but this has been my experience.
