Tips for Choosing the Perfect Business Name
Your business name is one of your most important brand assets. It’s often the first thing potential customers learn about your company, and it can significantly impact your success.
What Makes a Great Business Name?
- Memorable – Easy to remember and recall
- Distinctive – Stands out from competitors
- Relevant – Connects to your products, services, or values
- Scalable – Allows your business to grow and expand
- Available – Can be registered as a domain and trademark
- Simple – Easy to spell, pronounce, and type
Types of Business Names
- Descriptive Names – Directly describe what your business does (e.g., General Motors, Bank of America)
- Acronyms – Formed from the initials of longer names (e.g., IBM, CNN)
- Founder Names – Based on the founder’s name (e.g., Dell, Disney)
- Suggestive Names – Hint at a benefit or feature (e.g., Sprint, Buffer)
- Invented Names – Completely made-up words (e.g., Kodak, Xerox)
- Lexical Names – Play on words or phrases (e.g., LinkedIn, PlayStation)
Domain Name Considerations
When choosing a business name, consider these domain-related factors:
- Availability of the .com domain (still the most credible extension)
- Short and easy to type (avoid hyphens and numbers if possible)
- Easy to spell and pronounce (avoid confusing spellings)
- Memorable and brandable
- Alternative TLDs (.io, .co, etc.) if the .com isn’t available
Legal Considerations
Before finalizing your business name:
- Check trademark databases to avoid infringement
- Search business registries in your state/country
- Verify social media username availability
- Consider international implications if you plan to expand globally
