Business Name Help Please

odeamarcas

Hi all,

Over the past 12 months I have been developing a business service as a self employed individual.
I'm glad to say that It has worked out well and I want to formalize things and scale it up somewhat.

In sum, the business involves providing business plan writing services, writing investment proposal prospectuses, and in general helping clients with their applications to banks, VC's and enterprise offices.

80% of my work has been traditional "business plan" writing.

To date I have received most of my work through classifieds advertising Donedeal etc, and through networking.

But I want to spread my net now. So I need to get a website built and SEO will be an important element of finding the right type of clients.

This leads me to needing a suitable business / trading name. To be honest I am not very creative in this area. I know that there are some geniuses out there who are experts when it comes to this type of thing, headline writers for example, but I am crap!

Does anybody have any "top of their head" ideas for a business name that could be used for the business, and that might then suitable for the web domain ?

The most obvious one, businessplan.ie is gone.

Thanks in advance!

Mark

helpingyoubusinesswise.ie (albeit, it does seem a bit too long), businesshelp.ie, BusinessSupport.ie.

Not the best I will admit, but at least there's some ideas.

Yours,

Ha,ha, gave me a good laugh at least, thebusinessplanman.ie, you'd never know! Always wanted to be somebody's hero.

It would be a bit fun to show you have a bit of character and it would also be that bit more memorable than the likely identikit rivals who I imagine all just say hi I write the best business plans please email me.

Could be ambitious and go for Ernst & Touche :pac:

Jimmi's idea might just work because you have that organic google search working for you straight away.

Jimmi's idea has grown on me over night, I like the simplicity, humour, frankness of the name, but I'm just concerned that it might project me or the business as a bit "frivolous". Do you think I'm over thinking it?

pedronomix

it does not have to be all one word for a start. There is a touch of the whitevanman about it alright but the "business plan" bit is spot on. perhaps "Your business plan" or "business plan scribe" or "professional business plans"

Thanks Sean South, I like the Business Plan Pro one. Jimmii's name is catchy and fun, but I think I do have to try to remain somewhat "white collar" with the name.

odeamarcas

Your Business Plan from Pedro does work also, yourbusinessplan.ie might work perfect and sound less grandiose than calling myself a pro...?

Asking this as a question as I have no idea how it works but El Rife made a ref to organic google traffic - does it matter what order the words are in?

E.G - Your business plan V Plan your business - as I would be more likely to google "Plan your business" than "Your business plan"

It matters a lot. For example a company I have is called Distribute Your Product. Its almost an ignorant name but it works well because it picks up organic searches for searches like Distribute A Product without a dime spent on SEO etc.
However search product distribution and you won't find it anywhere in sight

power101

www.irishbusinessplans.ie & www.irishbusinessplan.ie are both available

I prefer the first one with the plural as it sounds like there's more going on etc

odeamarcas

Thanks for all the advice and ideas lads. I'm sitting here looking at the CRO form and about to commit to one of the names, i'm debating between; mybusinessplan, yourbusinessplan, irishbusinessplans, with a .ie domain.

On another side note, does anybody know if the CRO are still sticky about registering a business name with the .ie included as part of the trading or business name?

pedronomix

Forget the .ie and use the words in the name separately for CRO!

Then you add your slogan to whatever you choose "For all your business planning and start-up needs". Maybe a super hero logo

PM on way.
