    Smile Company Name?

    Hey,

    I've noticed that quite a few people have a 'company name' for their business. Is this a 'must' or recommended by ofstead or just personal choice?

    I really like the idea but can't think of anything original yet!

    What is anyone else going with?

    I have a company name, just because it gives me a corporate image.

    I only chose mine because I had to design a brochure as part of my Herts Quality Standard award.

    I chose mine so it gives me a corporate image and my parents love it.

    Chose my name as my little girl was "Bumble B" (B because our surname begins with it) when I was pregnant and we didn't know if she was a boy or a girl and I hated calling her "it".

    So it just then made sense to call myself "Busy Buzy Bumblebees Childminding"

    It is just down to personal choice really. I decided to have a business name when my hubby registered as a childminder, as we work together and thought a business name would sound better than just our own names!
    We really couldn't decide on a name though, so in the end we asked all the mindees parents to send us any name suggestions (it was a real eye opener!). We picked a winner & that parent got a bottle of wine.

    Personal choice. I did choose a business name but someone then went and purchased the web domain name and I missed out. I've decided to stick with my own name now.
