The entry is right. But generally banks don't finance 100% for strating a project. But hypothetically if we assume that bank financed 100% then your journal entry is correct:
Cash/Bank A/c Dr.
To Bank Loan A/c
Now when the business will earn profit after allowing all expenses including interest on loan that will form form part of capital and entry will be:
Profit & Loss A/c Dr.
To Capital A/c
(Being profit transferred to capital)

Amount will be credited to your bank account and hence you need to debit bank. As amount you have received as loan it should be shown as liability and hence credited to bank loan a/c

Just one question more, in future years while making repayment of loan taken to start up a business, the loan would be repaid as normally paid as :-
Interest A/c Dr.
Loan A/c Dr.
To Bank A/c
(Being loan installment paid)
????
So that means when we taken loan from bank to start up a business we pass :-
1. Bank A/c Dr.
To Loan A/c
(Being loan taken from bank to start up a business)
2. All Expenses A/c Dr.
To All incomes A/c
To Profit & Loss A/c
(Being Profit made during the year)
3. Profit & Loss A/c Dr.
To Capital A/c
(Being Profit during the year has been transferred to Capital A/c)
and the last one is:-
4. Interest A/c Dr. annual interest
Loan A/c Dr. loan repayment
To Bank A/c installments
(Being loan installment paid)
Is that all or any more entry also we have to pass????
