Challenge: H&R Block's CEO was seeking a signature small business outreach
program that singularly emphasized his company's commitment to community
and to the businesses that support those communities.
Solution: Share our office space with early stage entrepreneurs.
Many H&R Block offices, across the country, are underutilized outside of tax season. This valuable real estate is not living up to its potential. So H&R Block created an environment for enterprising early-stage entrepreneurs.
Square One (Sq1), by H&R Block, is not a co-working space, it’s a co-lab space.
We’re here to open doors that you previously didn’t know existed.
Sq1 provides:
Access to local advisory services through a Sq1 Concierge
Connections to local capital sources (loans, grants, potential investors)
Software, through Wave, for accounting, tax data, market research and legal compliance)
Office space and other operating resources fast wifi, access to web design services, e-commerce, hosting and of course free coffee.
During the tax
off-season, selected H&R Block offices
will be refit for Sq1
Every office has an on-site business services concierge
