Business Name Advice please!!

[Julz77]

Hi all

Just starting out and am trying to think of a good business name so i can get my advertising sorted.

Wondered if some of you would mind giving your opinions on if I should have a name which denotes that I am a female tradesperson? or Stick with something more generic..?? I want to be taken seriously and not a kind of 'novetly' tiler/plasterer, but being a female is one of my USP's...dilema!

The area which I plan to work in has a lot of stay at home mums and eldery people who will be my target client group.

Thanks guys !!

Lol names can be varied from using your own name, to a quirky name and then to using a professional business name. It really depends on what image you want to portray (ie family business, commercial business etc).

Hahah, might be an idea due to the amount of gossiping that goes on in Dalgety bay ! yeah had though of going down the quirky, easy to remember route. not just initials or something boring. thinking kinda family business as not really going into commercial field as yet. Thanks !!

If thats who you are targeting, I think you should deffo go down the route of making that clear with your branding and trading name etc.

There is a market for this but I htink you should not limit yourself to that only though.

How long have you been in the trade for?

Yeah, don't want to put alienate any customers! So want to get the name spot on.. Hopefully will be working under it long enough!

Thanks for advice, really appreciate it!
