Ideas for a business name.........

5 replies

Woahbodyforrrrm · 05/03/2015 10:42

Hi all,

We are starting up a new business and need ideas for a name. I'm usually really good at this type of thing when it comes to other people but my mind is blank where our business is concerned.

He is a heating engineer, so installs/fixes heating systems, designs and fits bathrooms, deals with general plumbing issues.

Any ideas would be great fully received!

I think you can approach business names from various different angles. You can go for the funny type names (personally not a massive fan of these for a serious business). You could also choose area based name but then you may have issues with people assuming you only deal with a certain area.

You could also go down the name route eg. S.M. Plumbing. If you don't want to use his name you could look at words associated with what he does and then other words that demonstrate perhaps reliability, solid workmanship etc. so for example:

Pipe safe
Plumbing solutions
Water fix
Plumbing and heating solutions
Plumbing design

I don't really know much about plumbing so those were only examples to get you started as I'm sure you will have much better ideas.

"A Plumb Job" might be used already

I think that the name needs to be clear about the business type. The business I am setting up involves indexing female trader names and it's amazing how many businesses I have come across (both male and female) where you have no idea what the business does. I agree with Cookiecake about the funny name aspect. Easy to remember, easy to identify with. Can you bring in the surname or first name 'Pete's Plumbing' or something?

If I needed the service & was looking it up I'd put 'heating, plumbing, area' in the search engine. A name based on or containing those words would come first, rather than something cutesy or 'clever'.

You CAN have a mix of the two if you wanted eg 'In Hot Water Heating & Plumbing'
