For Entrepreneurs by a Serial Entrepreneur
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.

Power & Innovative Business Strategies
We Don’t Just Help You Get Funded.
We Help You Position Capital Correctly.
Burns Funding is not a lender.
- We do not underwrite.
- We do not approve loans.
- We do not control disbursements.
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.
Why Business Owners Work With Us
Because access to capital is only half the equation.
What matters is:
- How it’s structured
- How it’s deployed
- How it’s repaid
- And what position you’re left in after it’s done
Most funding conversations stop at approval.
Ours start there.
The Burns Funding Method
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:
- To support repayment of the full loan balance through a structured, performance-based strategy.
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.
What Happens When The Loan Is Fully Repaid?
If funding includes revolving credit facilities:
- All credit lines remain with the client
• Credit facilities are restored free and clear
• The client retains full control
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:
- Capital was accessed
- Structure was maintained
- Position was protected.
