Square One Solutions

Our company is truly about returning to "square one." We first opened our doors in Reno/Sparks in March of 2004 when our family owned the then, Command Center franchise for the state of Nevada. After opening 5 stores in just over 2 years, we sold the franchise back to the franchise company in mid 2006. Our entire family had worked in the franchise, and after the sale, worked for Command Center, Inc. As the economy began it's tailspin, we were all eventually laid off by the end of March, 2009. After some time-off, and some soul-searching, we decided that our passion really was in the staffing industry and we were going to return to square one. Hence, the name of our new company; Square One Solutions. We leased our current location in July of 2009. In June of 2009, the Nevada Legislature passed a new Nevada State aw requiring all construction workers in Nevada to have their OSHA 10-hour training, and all supervisors of those construction workers to have their OSHA 30-hour training. We offered OSHA training in late 2009, while we focusing on OSHA training while we worked on a business plan for our new company while attempting to get financing for our new business. Around January 1, 2010, unable to secure any financing, we decided it was time to bring the family members into the new company, return to square one, focus on making the business work, continue with our OSHA training, expanding our health and safety offerings, but also providing a full compliment of staffing and labor services that we had so much experience in.
