Where is your safety standard?

A 500hr PIC Turboprop pilot with 2000tt is now safe? He has never flown a jet and now you want to do it single pilot?

You may be ok in a 2 pilot operation with a competent f/o(not in any operation I would lend my name to. We require a minimum of 5000hrs to sit in any seat-and yes we also require 3000 jet PIC along with the type rating for even the f/o along with formalized training i.e. major airline/military).

Asking for help on APC is a start, you seem to understand your limitations.
Single pilot PIC in a new jet may be legal but is it smart?
Your passengers should want the most qualified and competent crew they can get.
You are doing them a great disservice by your approach
.
2000tt and no jet time is not the time to be a hero. Experience gives you judgement, proper judgement would tell you to hire some experience. Later in your career you will look back and say "I can't believe they let me do that" and they shouldn't have!
Do it right!
