How Come There Are No Business Naming Books Like The Baby Names Books?

A name is not just a name. It’s how prospective clients will see you first, their very first impression. You need to find a name that suits what you do. Business Solutions Plus was born out of my main focus of helping solve small business’s problems. (I highly recommend staying away from “cutsie” names that would give your clients a casual immature view of you.) A good place to start researching names is to take the names you are considering and Google them to see what comes up. Then narrow it down by taking those top 3 names and entering them into a domain name search (such as http://www.godaddy.com/ or http://www.whois.com/) to see if they are available for purchase.


Before you decide on your name, I highly advise you to sleep on it so that you’re comfortable with it. It doesn’t bode well to change it midstream. Your name should be not thought of as flaky or fly-by-night, so be sure before you get started marketing it!


A word of caution…you may also need to check your local zoning ordinances and register your business with your city and county. Later on you can consider registering with the state you are in and getting an EIN. Check with your financial advisor as to the best way to set up your business.
