What's the best type of name for my business?
There's no one-size-fits-all formula for picking a great business name. The best name depends on a host of considerations -- some as obvious as the kind of business you do, others as unique as your own tastes and style. There are, however, a few guidelines that will steer you in the right direction. A good business name should:
- be distinctive
- be memorable
- be easily spelled and pronounced
- suggest the products or services you offer, and
- distinguish you from your competitors.
