Choosing a Company Name
Choosing a company name can be a straightforward decision for some, while others spend considerable time deliberating over what the name should convey to clients. Several strategies can be employed in selecting the right name.
When creating a limited company, the name is a crucial factor. Some might quickly choose a name or opt for a pre-existing company for convenience. However, many businesses aim to select a name that sets them apart or holds personal significance.
One common approach is using a personal name. For instance, you might come across names like Johnson Consulting Limited or T Smith & Son Limited in local listings. These names often resonate with the local community, giving a personal touch, though they may not clearly communicate the company's services to new customers.
Descriptive names are popular among small businesses because they clarify what the company does. Examples include The Window Company Limited or City IT Consultants Limited. Although these names reinforce the business’s focus, they offer little differentiation and can be easily imitated by competitors.
Another option is to choose an associative name, which creates a connection to your business’s activities through imagery or wordplay. Names like Classic Cuts for a hairdresser or Selectaprint Limited for a printer illustrate this. These names provide some differentiation but might not fully distinguish your company from others.
Alternatively, a freestanding name is completely abstract, unrelated to the business activities. A fictional example could be a catering company named Zedoc Limited. Many renowned brands, such as Kodak or Mars, use such names. While this can effectively set your company apart, it's essential to ensure your target market understands what you offer.
While choosing a company name might seem simple, it can involve significant deliberation. Although names can be changed, many prefer to select one they are happy with from the beginning. Consider your market, how much you want to stand out from competitors, and what the name should convey about your organization. Once decided, focus on the essential task of ensuring your company's success.
