The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance. \n\nThe name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future. \n\nSince any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...\n\nI suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research. I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there. Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first. \n\nThere are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Think of all your interests & ask yourself if any of those could be expanded into a business. Just keep in mind...what's your expertise? What are your interests? What could you imagine yourself doing?\n\nThen, once you have some ideas, research, research, research. Check out the competition -- their business practices, pricing, customer service, etc. And also think about what you could offer to set yourself apart from these other companies.\n\nCheck the sources for some handy sites.\n\nPrior to investing your time, money & effort into a business name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million).

"Patent" isn't the right word.  A patent protects a new invention or a new way of doing something.  Baby bibs are great but certainly not a new idea!  What you want is a Fictitious Business Name.  Most states let you file a form with the Secretary of State's office with the company name you want to use.\n\nThen you publish a notice in the back of the newspaper so people can see it, and anyone who objects to you using that name can speak up.  This is to insure that your name is really original.  Once you show the Secretary of State's office that you've done all that, they will issue you a certificate.\n\nYou can use that certificate now as your "business name."  You can open a checking account under that name, get a business license from your city or county, and other fun stuff.\n\nI will leave it to others to answer questions about selling things on the internet.  I have heard there are a lot of good ways to set up online stores.

You've got two different issues here - your business & your business name. Let's tackle one at a time.\n\nRE: Healer/Therapist/Counseling\n\nThe best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.\n\nI recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\n* Basic Counseling Techniques: A Beginning Therapist's Toolkit by C. Wayne Perry\n* Favorite Counseling and Therapy Homework Assignments: Leading Therapists Share Their Most Creative Strategies by Howard G. Rosenthal\n* Building Your Ideal Private Practice: A Guide for Therapists and Other Healing Professionals by Lynn Grodzki\n\nRE: Naming Your Business\n\nThe naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make.

A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance. \n\nThe name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your product or business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future. \n\nEstablished products or businesses realize the value of customer good will. A well chosen name will provide an extra marketing advantage, that may mean the difference between failure and success. \n\nCompanies go to great lengths to trademark and protect the usage of their name.\n\nThat being said, I suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and throw a "name party." Bring some of your items to the party & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research. I listed some links to search names in the source box.\n\nBest of luck to you!

I would hire a good Advertising Agency- you can not do this on your own- especially asking total strangers to think up a name & slogan for your company, youmust spend money to make money- good luck.

Check out the Small Business Administration web site -- they're a great resource. I listed a couple of other handy links as well.\n\nDo you have a name in mind for your electricity services? Prior to investing your time, money & effort into a name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files.

Name your business something that starts with an "A" you'll be the first listed everywhere in the phone books.. \n\nWhich is where I search for my local items, since many businesses still aren't on-line, except for a chamber of commerce listing... \n\nbut then thats another good idea..join the chamber in your area.. they refer only to chamber members for business.. and it's a great way to get your name circulated especcially if you're a new business.\n\nThen join/attend meeting to do with your trade to keep up with whats selling the best on the market...market research is PRICELESS! Know what your customer wants then supply it.
