You will have to offer Windows, but do as a local store does - offer
pricing for a no-OS system, with various Windows OSes as added (real)
cost options and Ubuntu for $0.

It's good advice but if it's going to be owner-operated that's a little
less important. Getting a bank to loan big-bucks to a startup these
days is probably impossible, but at least choose one that will be
flexible when you grow and _have_ employees, because changing banks is a
non-trivial problem for a company.
