“Native 360 was able to help us pay off loans and pay down some of that debt, so that we could have money to further invest in the business.”

Challenge

As there was a financial crisis in 2009, Matt and Jenny Richardson were having a hard time securing a loan to start Blue Raven Music. In order to pursue their passion, Matt and Jenny needed to pay off some debt, opening up funds for Blue Raven Music.

Solutions

Jenny reached out to Native 360 Loan Fund and immediately made progress with starting Blue Raven Music. Native 360 took the time to visit the future site of Blue Raven Music and believed in the drive of Matt and Jenny. Along with a loan to start the business, Native 360 would later supply Matt and Jenny with an expansion and equipment loan.

Outcome

Blue Raven Music now has 12 instructors that teach and perform a variety of instruments. With new instruments and teaching materials, Blue Raven Music takes pride in providing music lessons to the Lincoln, NE area regardless of age and experience level.

“Speaking from the heart, I want to thank Pete and Native 360 for all of the hard work they have done to support my business and other small businesses.”
