While in route to Burlington Airport (BUY) descending from 11;000 feet to 4;000 feet and approximately 20 miles to the south of the field on a very clear VFR day; the Co-pilot and I both had the Burlington airport in sight and informed ATC (Greensboro Approach). We were then cleared for the visual approach for BUY and told to contact the advisory frequency 122.97; we then descended to 3;000; we were on an extended downwind for Runway 24 in BUY; I had spotted traffic off my left wing which was indicating 200 feet below our altitude. In an attempt to ensure there would not be a conflict with the traffic; I promptly climbed up to 4;000 momentarily until the conflicting traffic was no longer a factor. At that point descended back down to 3;000 feet and began our final approach into Burlington (BUY).
