Default Looking for ideas for a business name
Well ladies and gentlemen, I finally took the plunge and resigned from my managment position in a leading adelaide electrical retailer to start my own Audio / visual, Home theatre PC, antenna and electrical ( I am a sparkie, but this work to a lesser degree) business but I am struggling to think of a catchy business name. Almost everything ( inc. customer base etc.) is ready to go apart from this very important element. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

The A/V (audio visual) doc...........think about when you answer the phone, you need something easy to say & easy for callers to understand (imo)
That's my best effort unfortunately, not feeling too creative today, best of luck with it. _2:

Where possible use your own name in the business name.

This will not only show Joe Public that you're not a franchise but will impress the punters when they shop there and get to talk to the head man.

That is true, but there is also benefit to having a catchy name. Easy to remember, sticks in your head...

It has to be short
It has to be catchy
It has to look 'right' as a logo for cards, your van and stationary etc..



It is late friday night but just a quicky
