Life is a series of evolving chapters. For the now 69-year-old Burns, those
chapters have featured one constant theme — a thirst for launching and growing business ventures. The serial start-up entrepreneur has started, operated, sold, and/or expanded 150-plus companies in many industries. He started the first moped rental business in America as well as the nation’s first college for entrepreneurship. Later came a travel company that spawned a partnership with the country of Vietnam, yielding him a share of the revenue from every travel dollar spent and every e-VISA issued to tourists. These are only a sampling of the aforementioned 150-plus enterprises. His affection for spearheading new enterprises remains, complemented by a passion for offering funding and guidance to aspiring entrepreneurs in fields as diverse as his own roster of ventures.
We Help You Position Capital Correctly.
Burns Funding is not a lender.
We connect qualified business owners with established third-party lenders who have proven track records in the funding space.
If approved, capital is disbursed directly from the lender to you.
Because access to capital is only half the equation.
What matters is:
Most funding conversations stop at approval.
Ours start there.
For select clients, we extend an invitation to participate in what we call the Burns Funding Method.
Here’s how it works in simple terms:
Once funding is secured through a third-party lender and related fees are satisfied, the remaining capital is divided into two portions:
One portion is retained by the client for unrestricted use
The other portion is allocated to Burns Funding
The allocated portion is deployed into income-producing assets that are owned and managed by Burns Funding and structured for long-term performance.
The objective is straightforward:
The client’s retained portion carries no repayment obligation tied to it.
To maintain eligibility, funds must be transferred within the required timeframe outlined in the agreement.
If funding includes revolving credit facilities:
If funding is structured as a secured term loan:
The loan is satisfied according to its terms, and no revolving credit obligations remain beyond the agreed structure.
In both cases, the outcome is the same:
Loan was repaid 100% by Burns Funding
