tj2419 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Hi I often do little repair jobs or website jobs for staff at our school outside of my job role (and outside of school hours). I wanted to come up with a company name but struggling for one. Wondering if anyone had any suggestions? I want it to reflect making IT simple and easy for them. I basically do any IT jobs fixing, designing websites or stationary etc. Anyone any ideas? I have tried googling synonyms and came up with UbiquITy or Lucid IT. What do you think to them or any better ideas? Cheers
laserblazer Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Bear in mind that if you make this too formal you will have to think about public liability insurance and such like and you will possibly get noticed by HRMC. Lucid has already been used Lucid Technologies :: Home although they probably aren't as protective of their TM as Ronald McDonald.
dwhyte85 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Bodge 'n' leggit solutions Only kidding, simple ict, something on that - it reads sort of likes simplicity too. Be careful with HMRC, going self-employed (NI contrib.) and the insurance front!

Nixon77 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Do a sir alan and use the initials from your name. Sometimes it does not sound very good depending it what your name is obviously. I always have thought about something like this but wondered if the main employer would have a problem with it.

Yeo695 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 When I made my own little computer repair company between a friend and I, we were young and decided to name it "PC 3VOLUTION" but since then regret it because our customer base is 80% elderly people who don't understand why there is a 3. So for short we call it "PC EVO." Now that we're expanding into graphic design, website design and video game server hosting. We're thinking about changing the name to something more generic. but if I've learned something. Keep it simple such as " Solutions" or " Computer Technologies"

unixman_again Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 " Computer Technologies" Where I live, if you call yourself "Black Country something-or-other" you will be almost guaranteed business; the locals reckon they know you.
Yeo695 Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Usually the smaller the population in the area you live the better off you are with a name like that. Bigger place for example "Liver Pool Computers" is a horrible name, 1. Liver should never be in a business name unless it's a butcher and 2 it's not really local when the population is a half a million people. A good example of this would be "Clovelly Computer Solutions".
