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?

OP I presume if you are employed in your main job that you have checked your employment contract doesn't preclude taking a second job or that you have permission if required? Also, some insurance policies require you to declare if you're working more than two jobs. Doesn't mean it's undoable or not worthwhile, but to be considered.

Did you deliberately say 'our purpose' instead of 'our bond' - or did you fall at the last hurdle there?! Grin

fell at the last hurdle

I would do so market research before limiting yourself to payroll based branding

This is a very good point: you don't want to end up becoming well-known/recognised for one limited thing at the expense of other things that you also offer, but which would sound to be excluded because of your company name.

Payroll & Chill sounds like a coded way of communicating that you're offering far more than just professional financial services!

You may as well call your firm 'Sexy Payroll' or 'Payroll & Perv' or something!!

OK calm yourself down !! It was only a suggestion jeez 🙄

Payroll Pickle with the tagline - don’t get into a payroll pickle … 😶 🥒

tilypu · 23/03/2026 22:04

I haven't read all the replies so apologies if I repeat things. But don't worry too much about having payroll in the business name. Apple doesn't sell apples, the big accountancy firms don't have accounts in their name. I come across the name of many accountancy firms in my job, and the ones that feel like they are 'cheap' are the ones with the word accounts in the name.

Also if you have the word payroll in the name you are limiting what you can do - so to future proof any possible expansion or even sale of your business, you are best to stay away from a name that is so limiting.
