The Essential List of Multihyphenate Businesses

The Essential List of Multihyphenate Businesses

A salon that doubles as a cafe. A restaurant with a successful merch line. We all recognize a Square business when we walk into one, it’s just a little different. So what do you call this new breed of businesses with more than one offering? We call them multihyphenates. With multiple revenue streams, they need multiple hyphens to describe the wildly creative ways they bring value to customers’ lives.

Multihyphenate businesses are made possible by Square, opening up any entrepreneur to try something new. This series celebrates these ambitious entrepreneurs who found success with their out-of-the-box business models. We hope learning about them inspires you to build on what you do, your way.
