Turn business funding into long-term wealth.
Most entrepreneurs use funding to grow one business. The Burns Funding Method helps qualified entrepreneurs grow their existing business while building a second, income-producing business designed to create long-term wealth.
One loan. Two income streams.
The Burns Funding Method helps qualified entrepreneurs use a portion of their funding to build a passive, income-producing asset while they keep growing their primary business.

One Amazon store, six months in.
A professionally managed store run by our Amazon operating partner. Mature stores average projected ranges of $10,000–$15,000 a month before partnership splits.*

This is simply one example.
The Burns Funding Method is designed to work with multiple income-producing assets.
Everything to know before you apply.
The basics
Am I applying for a loan through Burns Funding?
No. Burns Funding is not a lender. We help qualified business owners access third-party funding and then partner with them to deploy that capital into income-producing assets.
Traditional funding companies help you obtain capital and leave you to figure out the rest. Burns Funding provides access to passive income opportunities and a structured repayment strategy designed to help accelerate loan repayment while building long-term assets.
How is Burns Funding different from a traditional funding company?
Most funding companies help you obtain financing and their involvement ends there. Burns Funding goes a step further by helping clients use funding strategically to acquire income-producing assets designed to generate cash flow and support long-term wealth building. Our goal is not just to help you access capital, but to help you put that capital to work.
We also put a solid legal agreement in place between Burns Funding and each client, so all obligations are clearly defined and protected, even if leadership ever changes.
Who decides whether I'm approved, and for how much?
Funding eligibility and approval amounts are determined by our third-party lending partners. To keep it simple, we've created a single application that is shared directly with our lending network. Once you submit it, our partners review your information and determine whether you qualify, and for how much.
What happens after I receive funding?
The next steps depend on the partnership option you choose. Your funds are deployed into the selected income-producing asset, such as an Amazon store or Airbnb partnership, and our operating partners handle the day-to-day management. You'll receive onboarding information, agreement documentation and updates throughout the process.
Why use funding to buy an asset instead of putting it all into my business?
Many entrepreneurs need capital today but also want to build long-term wealth. Through a 50/50 partnership with Burns Funding, part of the funding can be used for your business while another part is invested in a passive income asset. The strategy is designed to support loan repayment, and once the loan is paid off, the asset remains in your name, with the potential for ongoing income and long-term value.
Can I invest directly without borrowing money?
Yes. The Direct Co-Investor Partnership is designed for people who already have capital to invest. You invest directly into the asset partnership, the asset is professionally managed by the operating team, and you share in the profits according to the partnership agreement without needing to obtain funding first.
The partnership
What am I responsible for as the borrower or investor?
As a borrower, your main responsibility is keeping good standing with any funding obligations and providing information needed during setup. As a co-investor and co-owner, the day-to-day operation is handled by the operating partner. You'll receive updates and can monitor your asset's performance without managing it.
How are profits split between the operator, Burns Funding and me?
Profit distributions depend on the partnership structure you choose and are clearly outlined in your agreement before you move forward. In general, profits are shared among the store owner, the operating partner and Burns Funding based on each party's role and contribution. If funding is involved, profits may first be directed toward loan repayment before distributions begin.
Can the asset's profits really help pay off my loan?
That is the goal of the Burns Funding Method. In the Funding + Partnership Model, store profits are first directed toward repaying the loan balance. No specific results can be guaranteed, but the objective is to use the asset's cash flow to reduce or eliminate the debt while building long-term ownership. Once the loan is repaid, future profits are shared according to the partnership agreement.
What happens after the loan is fully repaid?
Profits are no longer directed toward debt repayment and become distributable according to the partnership agreement. You continue to benefit from your ownership interest and any future cash flow the asset generates.
With a larger funding amount, can I own multiple assets?
Potentially, yes. Larger funding amounts may allow participation in multiple asset partnerships, depending on the amount approved, the opportunities available and the structure of your agreement.
Can profits be reinvested into additional assets?
Potentially, yes. Depending on the asset, partnership structure and your goals, profits may be reinvested into additional opportunities offered through Burns Funding, building diversification over time.
How does Burns Funding make money in these partnerships?
Burns Funding participates as a partner in the asset and earns a share of the profits when the asset performs. It also contributes strategic support, partnership capital and ongoing oversight. Burns Funding benefits when the client and the asset perform well over the long term.
What does success look like five years from now?
Owning one or more income-producing assets that generate ongoing cash flow, with any associated funding fully repaid, and using the profits to keep building wealth through additional investments.
Amazon & Airbnb assets
How does the Amazon Store Partnership work?
You become a co-owner of a professionally managed Amazon store without running it yourself. An experienced Amazon operator handles product sourcing, store management and scaling. As a partner, you share in the store's performance while the operational work is managed for you.
Who owns the Amazon store?
The client owns the store from the beginning. Our Amazon operating partner handles the day-to-day operations, growth and management. Both the client and Burns Funding have access to the store's back office.
Who manages the store day to day?
Our Amazon operating partner and their team handle product sourcing, supplier relationships, inventory, customer service, account maintenance and growth strategy, so you can remain a passive owner.
Can you show me real examples of successful stores?
Yes. One recent store generated about $59,246 in revenue and $15,139 in profit in its first six months. By month six it was generating about $6,000 a month in profit and continued to grow. More examples may be available during due diligence. Current projections are $10,000–$15,000 in monthly profit.
How long until a store becomes profitable?
Every store is different, but the projected timeline is typically 4 to 6 months after launch:
- Months 4–6: about $2,000–$3,000 a month in profit
- Months 6–8: about $4,000–$6,000 a month
- Months 9–12: about $6,000–$9,000 a month
- Mature stores: potentially over $10,000 a month
These figures are estimates and are not guarantees of future performance.
Why Amazon instead of another passive income opportunity?
Amazon is one of several asset opportunities Burns Funding plans to offer. We chose it because it has a proven operator, established systems and a strong track record. As we verify other qualified operators, we intend to expand into short-term rentals (Airbnb), TikTok Shops, luxury vehicle rentals and other income-producing opportunities.
How does the Airbnb partnership compare to the Amazon partnership?
With the Amazon partnership, you participate in a professionally managed Amazon store run by an experienced e-commerce team. With the Airbnb partnership, you participate in a professionally managed short-term rental run by an experienced hospitality team that handles guest communication, marketing, pricing, operations and property management.
In both, the goal is the same: own a cash-flowing asset while experienced operators manage the day-to-day on your behalf. Structure, timelines and profit potential vary by asset and agreement.
Who manages the Airbnb properties?
Burns Funding's hospitality operating partner handles guest communication, marketing, pricing, reservations, cleaning coordination, maintenance and day-to-day operations, aiming to maximize occupancy and revenue while keeping the investment largely passive for owners.
Airbnb or Amazon: which is the better asset?
Amazon stores are digital assets that can scale without being tied to a location. Airbnb assets are tied to travel and hospitality and can benefit from tourism, seasonal demand and growth in vacation markets. The right choice depends on your goals, and many choose to diversify by participating in both.
Why not invest in an Amazon store or Airbnb myself?
You certainly can. The advantage of the Burns Funding Method is access to verified, experienced operators, established systems and a partnership structure that reduces the time, learning curve and operational work of building these businesses yourself, without necessarily using all of your own capital.
Risk, legal & exit
What are the biggest risks with the Burns Funding Method?
Like any business or investment, there are risks. Asset performance can vary, market conditions can change, and no specific income, profit or loan repayment timeline can be guaranteed. Amazon stores, Airbnb properties and other assets may have periods of lower-than-expected performance. Loan obligations remain in place regardless of how the asset performs.
Clients should carefully weigh both the potential rewards and the risks before participating.
What legal agreements protect both parties?
Participants typically enter written agreements that define ownership, profit-sharing, responsibilities, distributions, exit provisions and each party's rights and obligations. Clients are encouraged to review all agreements carefully and to seek independent legal advice if they wish.
How much visibility will I have into the asset's performance?
As an owner or co-owner, you'll receive updates on key metrics such as revenue, expenses, profitability and distributions, as applicable. The reporting process varies by asset type and operating partner.
What happens if the operator stops performing?
Burns Funding carefully vets its operators, but circumstances can change. If an operator isn't meeting expectations, Burns Funding will work to protect the partnership's interests, which may include operational changes, restructuring or transitioning management. Rights and remedies are set out in the partnership agreements.
What if I want to exit the partnership later?
Exit options depend on the agreement and the asset. An ownership interest may be sold, transferred, bought out by another partner, or liquidated if the asset is sold. Exit terms, restrictions and buyout provisions are outlined in the agreement before you participate.
Funding should do more than fund your business. It should build your wealth.
