Just be honest, it will save you lots of pain down the road. I know getting the first customer(s) is hard, but don't lie to do it. They may not even care, and just want to know what they are getting into.
Good luck on your project. Getting this kind of interest is a good signal!
You can also turn it into a positive -- you're small and new, but it means that you will be incredibly responsive to any feedback/changes/issues/support they face. You can build out the product with them.
To add to this - one more concern might be that you will change your mind in 2 months and they want to protect their investment. To address that, you can cover the issue in contract - especially if it's business critical. So open discussion is probably most important as it will help you with future clients.
