Name my company?

Oblomov26 · 22/03/2026 22:21

Please would you all help me come up with suggestions for a company name. I know many of these threads have been done on Mumsnet before. You are all so witty and creative!

So this is only at the planning stage.
I'm going to set up a side business, a little hussle, alongside my main job, which is accounts.

I'm going to offer monthly payroll only , to neat and tidy companies, who are compliant and organised, so I don't end up with tricky payrolls, nor hospitality nor eg nursing homes that have high staff turnover, unorganised late submissions etc.

I am qualified and have been doing accounts and payroll for like 30 years!! So I reckon I can do this.

I wanted the first word to be Payroll.
So It was obvious what the service was.
Payroll Precision - only that's no good because precision is too hard to spell.

something similar?
suggestions please?

Oblomov26 · 22/03/2026 22:35

Do you not think that payroll should be the first word?

Whatever you name it you need to check it’s not being used by someone else.

It would make sense for SEO (search) purposes, yes.

Payroll Easy

Payroll Peasy

Oblomov26 · 22/03/2026 22:43

I know. I've already searched companies house for possibilities.

Payroll Twelve …. Describes what you’ll do each month?

Oblomov26 · 22/03/2026 22:50

Also, because I've been doing accounts, you know all my life I can offer other accounting services. I mean there's not much that I can't do - obviously I'm qualified, but I'm not ACA qualified so I can't do audits. but I could later do tax if I wanted to , corporation tax , personal tax.

I can do all that. I could be a fractional CFO if I chose to be but to be honest, it's not something that I particularly wanna do, right now.

I just wanna start with the payroll because I love doing payroll and I find it very easy and I can do it really quickly.

Having done payroll all my life, I know what makes a client tricky.

But they're paying for my service, in that I'm I have broad experience.

So I'm going to charge a reasonable rate. I want high-end clients. I want easy clients and they're paying for my knowledge and expertise, to take away all the hassle, of being compliant and running their payroll and not having to worry about it.

So I need to get across I mean, yeah, I can write all that in the bio. But it would be helpful if the name helped.

it's the high-end clients. I'm not looking for people coming with a very messy payrolls or problematic payrolls or unorganised last-minute changes et cetera. I know I'll get a bit of that but I'm trying to minimalise it.

So in the name I need to put across, that you're paying for the precision, my expertise and that there is a medium to slightly higher cost for this service.

Does that all make sense?

Payroll Pronto?

4bagpuss · 22/03/2026 22:54

Payroll Perfect or Payroll Panda as then you can incorporate a panda into your logo and who wouldn’t want that?

Oblomov26 · 22/03/2026 22:57

Bagpuss why a panda? 🤣
I'd rather have the bagpus mice as my logo - we will wash it, mop, mop, mop!

Prestige Payroll

Oblomov26 · 22/03/2026 22:59

I have to be careful. I probably shouldn't use the word 'perfect'.

OP posts:
Oblomov26 · 22/03/2026 23:00

Isn't prestige like precision? Hard to spell?

NuffSaidSam · 22/03/2026 23:02

I think Payroll Pro is the best suggestion so far. You're not going to express all of that other stuff in a company name. It's just not possible.

There are a lot of companies that offer payroll services so it could be a difficult market.

I don't suppose your name is Pete is it because payroll Pete really works. Maybe change your name
