About Us
My Story
Hi, I’m Brett Colliton. Owner and founder of Opportunity Horizon. As a young man, taking my first steps into the adult world, I was struck by personal tragedy. My best friend, mentor, and, father, suddenly passed away.
I spent years lost in the bottle, washed up on sandy beaches, skiing down snowy mountains, and attempting to party my way through the pain.
Then one day I woke up.
Without a dollar to my name or an opportunity ahead of me, I stood, feet buried in the sand looking out over the horizon. I realized at that point that the world will always go on without me and that I had two choices: get busy living or get busy dying…
Over the forthcoming decades I found success in various industry, but as a long-time entrepreneur I stumbled upon a gigantic opportunity (seemingly) hiding in plain sight.
You see, there’s only one thing all businesses, irrespective of industry or location, need desperately: capital.
The old business saying states that “you need money to make money”, and that sentiment has never been truer than it is today. Since the world shut down five years ago, small businesses have been under attack like never before.
The consolidation of everything everywhere has made breaking even a challenge and sustained profitability a virtual impossibility for many of my fellow entrepreneurs.
This is the reason I founded Opportunity Horizon. I want to share the secrets of business funding and bankability with folks facing the same challenges I previously had.
The truth is simple: in the information age “fake news” is the best risk management tool for those already playing “The Big Game”.
The people in power do not want the rest of us understanding how easy it can be to climb to their wealth levels, utilizing little more than leverage and common sense…once you know how.
Here at Opportunity Horizon, we help businesses achieve stability, growth, scale, and, eventually, liquidity events through use of superior knowledge, technology, and education.
I look forward to welcoming you into our small, but strong, community of modern trailblazers, dissatisfied with the status quo, looking for more, and, understanding of precisely how to get it.
As you can see, we do not deal in generic headlines, boring AI texts, or, meaningless platitudes. Each one of our professional relationships is unique and should you choose to honor us with your membership,
I can personally guarantee you the highest level of courtesy, respect, and, dedication in helping you achieve your professional aspirations.
LEVERAGE
Here’s the deal friend…the reason you’re not collecting the amounts of dollars you’ve always dreamed about is because it simply isn’t a good deal for the people in charge.
This is not a conspiracy theory or an excuse. Money is power, but the power is in information…or to be more specific:
The acquisition of power, via money, is delivered by the vehicle of leverage.
SOFTWARE
When you become an Opportunity Horizon client, you get access to Growth Lock, our secret weapon to leveling the business funding playing field.
You see, until now, businesses seeking funding would have to approach bankers, brokers, and all sorts of alternative-financing specialists. They would literally be at the mercy of lenders and funders who have the legal right to be highly-predatory and ruthless.
LEADERSHIP
A lot of people use terms like “consulting” and “advisory” haphazardly. Here at Opportunity Horizon, we prefer “leadership”.
Once upon a time, we were all lost at sea, at the mercy of the winds and the waves, not knowing whether we’d wash up safely on shore or get crushed by the waves…
That is why we prefer to lead, rather than simply teach.
Leverage
LEVERAGE
Here’s the deal friend…the reason you’re not collecting the amounts of dollars you’ve always dreamed about is because it simply isn’t a good deal for the people in charge.
This is not a conspiracy theory or an excuse. Money is power, but the power is in information…or to be more specific:
The acquisition of power, via money, is delivered by the vehicle of leverage.
Leverage is really all that separates guys like Buffet and Bezos from Bobby the Barber.
If Bobby could raise millions of dollars, open up barbershops across the country, and offer everything from straight razor shaves to intricate hair braiding, he’d be immensely wealthy. But Bobby will never be Buffet or Bezos, because he doesn’t understand leverage, and in the case that he does, he’s never able to gain access to it because the gilded doors of power and wealth simply aren’t open to people like him.
The game is rigged.
People like Bobby and yourself are not meant to win. The information unavailable to you is simply too valuable to share at any price. The reason being: it’s so simple anybody can do it…
Once you know how, you’ll be able to:
1. Get Increased Access to Funding – Our access to a diverse portfolio of funding sources will reduce your reliance on a single lender and for the first time, banks will battle it out over you, increasing likelihood of more capital at lower interest.
2. Stronger Financial Position – By leveraging multiple funding streams, we can help you get access to greater working capital, improve creditworthiness, allowing for the sort of rapid scale that “Bobby” could never have a shot at before.
3. Risk Mitigation & Stability – Our diversified approach helps protect against economic downturns, lending restrictions, and unexpected financial challenges. The best “players” aren’t only the best when they go “all-in”, they’re the best because they lose the least during downturns, when the majority lose their shirts.
4. Growth & Expansion Opportunities – More funding options means that your businesses (or those you refer as an affiliate) can invest in new opportunities, hire more staff, expand operations, or launch new products/services.
Better Financial Strategy & Confidence – We will pull back the curtain and paint a high-resolution future picture for you, of the funding roadmap leading to your desired outcome, the knowledge to navigate financial decisions wisely, and the confidence to secure capital effectively.

Leadership
LEADERSHIP
A lot of people use terms like “consulting” and “advisory” haphazardly. Here at Opportunity Horizon, we prefer “leadership”. Once upon a time, we were all lost at sea, at the mercy of the winds and the waves, not knowing whether we’d wash up safely on shore or get crushed by the waves…
That is why we prefer to lead, rather than simply teach.
But rather than brag, allow us to show you how we differ from the competion:
1. Customized Funding Strategies vs. One-Size-Fits-All Approach
Opportunity Horizon: Tailors funding strategies based on a business’s unique needs, industry, and long-term goals. Instead of a generic funding roadmap, we provides personalized guidance on the best mix of funding sources.
The Competition: Primarily offers a pre-packaged business credit-building system that follows a set process without much customization for individual businesses.
2. More Than Just Business Credit—A True Diversified Funding Approach
Opportunity Horizon: Teaches business owners how to combine multiple funding types, including business credit, alternative financing, revenue-based funding, and private lending, ensuring long-term financial stability.
The Comp: Focuses mainly on business credit building and connecting businesses to lenders but doesn’t offer a holistic funding strategy.
3. Actionable, Hands-On Guidance Instead of Just a Software System
Opportunity Horizon: Provides step-by-step coaching and strategic consulting to help businesses get approved for the right funding at the right time—not just giving them software to apply for credit.
Those Other Guys: Relies on software tools and databases where business owners are often left to navigate the funding process on their own.
4. Long-Term Financial Growth vs. Quick Credit Setup
Opportunity Horizon: Helps business owners build a sustainable funding portfolio so they can continue accessing capital as they scale.
Those Humps Over There: Primarily focus on getting business owners vendor credit and tradelines quickly, which may not always lead to scalable funding options and can hamper businesses in the long run.
5. Stronger Relationship-Based Funding Access
Opportunity Horizon: Leverages insider lender relationships and proven funding strategies that give business owners a competitive edge.
The Bottom of the Barrell: Primarily connects users to a database of lenders but doesn’t emphasize relationship-building to secure better funding terms.
