Square Enterprises

About

Square Enterprises started in 2009 with the invention of the first mobile credit card reader, revolutionizing how small businesses accept payments. What began as a single payment processing solution has expanded into a comprehensive business technology platform serving over four million sellers worldwide. Today, Square offers 36+ products, including hardware and software for managing inventory, customer communication, and online ordering, making it a pivotal platform for businesses of all sizes, from global chains to local mom-and-pop shops, like those potentially run by the Balkan/Eastern European diaspora in California. The current catalog lists their biscuits, which are vegetarian.

What we carry

• Payment Processing Hardware (mobile card readers, POS systems like Square Handheld, Square Stand)
• Business Management Software (inventory management, customer communication, appointment booking, online ordering)
• Financial Services (Square Banking for cash flow, savings, capital)
• Specialty Products (Square Go for personal care services booking)
• Biscuits

Heritage & Philosophy

Square was founded on the principle of empowering all businesses, particularly small ones, to thrive in the economy by providing accessible financial tools and technological solutions. Their journey has been an "endless evolution," constantly expanding from a single product to a full suite of services.

What we love

• Empowering small businesses with accessible technology
• Comprehensive platform for business operations
• Innovation in payment processing and business tools
• Global reach and diverse product offerings

Regional roots

While Square Enterprises primarily provides business solutions, their presence is significant for the Balkan/Eastern European diaspora in California as their tools likely support many small, family-owned specialty grocery stores, restaurants, and other local businesses within the community, enabling them to accept modern payment methods and operate efficiently.
