Capital Readiness
Capital should support the business—not compensate for a broken one.
Growth capital can accelerate a well-prepared business — and amplify the strain on one that isn't. Capital Readiness is about understanding whether the financial and operational foundation of your company is prepared to pursue and responsibly deploy growth capital.
The progression
Capital is a stage in the path, not the path itself.
Burden & Co. helps business owners evaluate operational and financial infrastructure first — so that when capital becomes available, the business is ready to put it to work.

Where you stand
Two potential paths
The diagnostic and a Capital Readiness review help owners understand whether the company is prepared to pursue growth capital — before anyone asks for it.
Burden identifies infrastructure, financial-organization, documentation, credit-development, or operational constraints that should be addressed before pursuing capital.
Businesses that appear prepared may eventually be introduced to independent third-party financing resources or partners when appropriate.
Burden & Co. is not currently making lending decisions. Financing products, underwriting, approvals, rates, and terms would be determined by independent third-party providers.
Capital readiness is one part of the operating picture — start with the full diagnostic.
