Very helpful. Very informative! Thank you.
The first useful and original info I've seen in several hours topic bingeing. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge to help others avoid pitfalls.Liked, subbed and sending gratitude from Australia 🙏🙏🙏
👍Very informative vid. Picking a name was so much easier before we had to consider SEO and social media, especially if your intention was to stay as a local sole trader. Using a place specific name was fine. Now we have to consider something as simple as there are, for example, more than one 'Newcastle'. This didn't matter when the only place you advertised was the local rag.
Great tips Andy. 👍
Some great tips there. I was trying to name a TH-cam channel a few years ago and decided tiktok would be a good idea whoops . What little growth I had has now been ruined .
I love this channel! So glad I found it :)
Cheers Laura - welcome to the channel! 👍👊
Brilliant info, thanks
Brilliant Tip...
Well done mate
super helpful thank you
This is great.. U have a knew subby
Welcome to the channel! 👊
some very good tips there andy. its a mine field out there. great advice. wish i had done all this when i did mine
I see SO MANY companies with very limiting names, especially retail. Like "Just SOUP!" or "Windows only" and without fail, they always have to amend their name with like "AND salads!" or "AND doors"
Ah, this is what confuses me about the first tip: I'm starting a custom cookie business, but may consider adding on other treats like cupcakes. So something broad like "sweets/treats/goodies" isn't as specific and SEO friendly like "custom cookies." AH.
Just setting up a small business any good tips . I love theses videos really good . I’m off on a business course now Friday.
Fantastic stuff! See my top 10 tips vid: th-cam.com/video/ENf2SrdCRJg/w-d-xo.html
Best of luck! 👍👊
Small Business Toolbox thank you . I will watch them later.
So I'm starting a Pressure washing business but don't know what to name it. I've been thinking about it for a while now and i feel like I've spent more time on it than I should because I'm planing on making business cards, yard signs and Facebook page on it. I was thinking Pressure King Services or something else because I'm planning on doing this full time and for the long run and last thing I want to do is to have to change the name 5-10 years from now
I am doing a craft/gift business. Domain name is available and has my 1st name and I don't see any other with it EXCEPT 1 lady on pintrist but not as her main name just in ( ). I don't know if I should do it or something with the word gifts in it. Ugh. This is SO hard!
I struggled for months to name my electrical business . Not because what Andy has said is not relevant but because EVERY combination of my name, initials, location and tech terms like "bright sparks" or "not phased" had been taken. I settled on Jigsaw Electrical Services because the logo was free, made a great image on a cheap, white van, was not in use and "Services" says what I ERR...do. As Andy says at 14:50 DON'T GET TOO HUNG UP ON THIS just get on with it.
Awesome name! Something that can easily be turned in to a good logo is a great point! 👍
Hi, thank you for this video. If I sell candles, can I name my brand with 2 words ( for labeling the product) but create domain name/ buisness name adding candle at the end? For example DANCING FLAME ( on labels) and DANCING FLAME CANDLE for the domain name? Thank you!
P.S " Dancing Flame " isn't the name I'm going to go for. It's just an example :)
Why don't you name your business FourCandles?!
I'm starting a designer clothing reselling business any ideas for a name?
A question.. Your point about putting e.g "Newcastle plumber etc etc "..Wouldnt the down side to that be that hundreds will come up and who says u will be top or they will pick you..???!
You'd be surprised! You'd need to research it for your area and make sure there aren't too many overlapping names for similar services. Perhaps go down to district level (e.g. Gosforth Handyman 😀).
@@SmallBusinessToolbox brilliant.. I'll do just that
Could you tell if store name and seller name are the same? Is this the name which will be displayed: sold by.... OR it will be displayed "Visit the ..... store. Thanks in advance
A good topic would be how to get leads. Thank you.
On the list! 👍
The domain name doesn't have to be same as business name does it? It's easier to change domain name isn't it so I'd prob chose one that came up in search but use my own name from birth as my company name
No, doesn't need to be the same. In that situation I'd register both (trading name and company name). 👍
Is that your indoor hat Andy?
Yes and it's too small for ma giant heed!! Shame 'cause I really like it... 😂
ive upgraded too limited, extra £2000 a year dividends?
Yup! £5000 last year I think! 👍
What's in your business name? Anything but you!
In Slovakia I had no choice 25 years ago. As a one-man-band you were obliged to have your full name as a business name and if the clerk was in a good mood, you could add
a word to it which showed which type of business you are running.
Interesting! Love hearing how stuff is / was done in other countries! 👍
THIS IS THE COMPANY WITH THE LONGEST NAME SO FAR INCORPORATED AT THE REGISTRY OF COMPANIES IN ENGLAND AND WALES AND ENCOMPASSING THE REGISTRIES BASED IN SCOTLAN - that is a genuine registered business lol
😂😂👍
lol 10 pound a year. . . I recently searched a specifically good name and GoDaddy was asking for $2,569.99 a year
Yeah, all really good names are basically gone I'm afraid! For .com's anyway.
