    Small business name!
    My husband and I would like to start a small business on the side but we cannot come up with a great name. Our last name is Wilson. We want to do any odd jobs from lawn care to pressure washing to tearing something down and building it back, cleaning, etc. Does anyone have a creative mind and can help us think of a catcy name? Thanks so much in advance for your help!!

    Hi, wilson5!

    The first word in the names of my various businesses, I like to have start with the letter "A" in order to be more towards the top of any lists that might be on the Internet or in the phone book.

    What I like to use, is the word Absolute.

    It sounds like you're going into some kind of handyman service. What about Absolute Handyman Service?

    If you would like to know how to advertise on the Internet for free and get the best exposure for the locations where you want to work, please let me know on this thread.

    Most of my new business comes from the free ads that I've placed on the Internet. Depending on the location or locations that I'm targeting, I will change the name of my business. It's okay to do that, because all of my money concerning business is just registered officially under my real name.

    Thanks!

    Hi Wilson;

    Tell me about your what you would like to focus on.. the one thing you most enjoy to do in your small business.

    Another thing would be where you live.. for example I live in Canada.. and they love a solid name as opposed to the States.

    I hope I can help you!
