https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/No-Owner-Public-Entity-Government-Exempt/m-p/186112#M62483 <P>I would like to use Square to sell tickets from our public entity (City). There is no owner because it is an exempt government agency, governed by an appointed Board of Directors, whose membership changes annually. How would you suggest I open an account, considering Square requires a legal name and SSN to register? Clearly, it would not be practical to open a new account each time a Board Chairperson and/or Director changes. Thank you.</P> Sun, 21 Sep 2025 17:26:10 GMT RABASeller2020 2025-09-21T17:26:10Z https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/No-Owner-Public-Entity-Government-Exempt/m-p/186112#M62483 <P>I would like to use Square to sell tickets from our public entity (City).
