What could be better than paying a loan back at 20 percent to 30 percent interest rate?
Try 0 percent. That’s the offer that Burns Funding has been making to its clients over the last year, which is now gathering steam through another innovative approach.
The Burns Funding Method is a process by which a borrower initially secures funds through Burns, then remits 40 percent of those funds back to the company with the promise that Burns will service the loan for the entire amount.
How does Burns Funding accomplish that? Through innovative partnerships with passive income generators, from eCommerce Store operators to exotic car dealerships. The funds generated by partnerships like the one he has with Elite Automation (link here) generate more than enough revenue to cover the debt servicing.
Burns Funding and its founder, Peter J. Burns, III have generated a legion of fans.
Shaye Larsen, the CEO of Token Marketing and an owner of several automotive dealerships, called the BFM “unprecedented” when it was introduced last year. “When I heard about the approach, met with Peter, and did my due diligence.” Larsen, who was featured on
Burns’ Podcast, walked away impressed.
He was not alone.
Daniel “The Dan” Rogul, an East Coast entrepreneur and co-founder of Income Garden, also took notice.
“Upon hearing of the offer, I honestly couldn’t believe it was real. So, I hired some friends in the investigation community and confirmed the credibility of Burns Funding and its founder. Then I spoke to Peter and realized there was a great fit (for my clients).”
What really propelled the BFM to new heights was the idea introduced at the beginning of 2025 to leverage shelf corporations as a funding vehicle. A shelf corporation is a pre-registered company that has been incorporated but not used for any business activity, essentially “put on the shelf” to age and acquire a filing history. It is later sold to a new owner who wants to bypass the initial incorporation process to quickly gain an established corporate history or longevity for their new business. The primary value of a shelf corporation lies in its earlier incorporation date, which can provide an established reputation or fulfill requirements for certain financing and tax strategies.
Certain financing is the operative phrase. “It’s a way for entrepreneurs to raise as much as $500,000 for their business without sacrificing their personal credit,” Burns, a regular columnist for Forbes Magazine, recently said.
Entrepreneurs, with the help of Burns Funding, can then purchase a shelf corporation, which costs approximately $15,000. The next step is to cost-effectively secure capital from the corporation’s credit cards and credit lines.
“There are hundreds of thousands of small business owners, who have the credit score, but can’t substantiate the income through W-2s,” Burns said. “They have difficulty obtaining significant unsecured funding to pursue their business dreams.
“The beauty of our approach is that entrepreneurs can pay for the shelf corporation out of pocket or avail themselves of certain Burns Funding programs that will buy the shelf corporation on their behalf.”
The shelf corporation program gained additional momentum with the appointment last winter of shelf corporation specialist Grace Gillespie as Burns Funding’s Director of Shelf Corporation – Acquisitions and Funding.
Gillespie partnered with Burns Funding after meeting Burns and vetting his approach.
“It sounds too good to be true,” she said on his podcast. “But it’s not too good to be true. It is a wonderful way to be able to fund your business. And what makes it even more special is that Peter has connections that the average businessperson would not have. So really what you’re getting with Peter is his ability to connect the dots. Within his own realm, he offers additional pieces of the funding to smooth the process, and enable you to make money. And it’s all secure, which means as a businessperson you don’t have to worry about the next steps. It’s already taken care of for you. He takes the hard part away from you and makes it easy.”
