edutech4schools Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Our LA have told all the schools they can't use self employed individual in the schools anymore. Basically from April I will need to be a limited company. One of the first things I need to do is pick a name for the limited company that has not already been registered. I am struggling to come up with something creative and would appreciate your help in choosing a name. I could possible use Edutech4schools if noting else pops up.
synaesthesia Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I actually quite like Edutech4Schools; I actually thought it was the name of a company initially.
rich_tech Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 EduTech4Schools is decent and has a nice ring to it I think Really its up to you though as its your company, though theres plenty of Movie companies you could try and register too, if you fancied being a Director of Stark Industries/Weyland-Yutani/Tyrell/Umbrella/Starfleet Search fictional movie companies for that one.
themightymrp Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Me too actually, I'd be tempted to just go with that
Arthur Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Isn't having both 'edu' and 'schools' in the name a little bit redundant?
X-13 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Isn't having both 'edu' and 'schools' in the name a little bit redundant? Nah, it's so he can make other companies later on. BusinessTech4Schools EduTech4NHS MedicalTech4Business
edutech4schools Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 OK will see if Edutech4Schools has been taken yet. Cheers Sam
JRowley Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I thought that was a company name, sounds good to me.
dwhyte85 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 You can always trade as with a limited company, don't be too disheartened if all the good names are taken
elsiegee40 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 My husband had to do this. He just went for the very biring Initials Surname Consulting Ltd.... Try not to make it too specific to schools and IT in case you want to use the business to do something a little outside that specific scope in the future.
Iain.Faulkner Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 How about calling your company "TwoUn"?
Norphy Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Isn't having both 'edu' and 'schools' in the name a little bit redundant? Not necessarily. There are plenty of educational establishments which aren't schools. I work in one
Garacesh Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I did think it was a company name, but I personally have a petty hatred for anything using 4 instead of 'for'. If I ever have an accident, InjuryLawyers4U can right off Personally I think something a bit shorter would have more of a professional ring to it.. Like keeping it at EduTech. "Who does your IT Support?" "EduTech4Schools" vs "Who does your IT Support?" "EduTech".. Just sounds more professional to me. But that's just me.

Drop the '4' for 'for', To me it looks more professional.
matt40k Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Personally I think something a bit shorter would have more of a professional ring to it.. Like keeping it at EduTech. Alas someone has already bet him 2 it, was registered 6 months ago (Companies House WebCHeck).
Garacesh Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 him 2 it I see what you did there. I don't like it, but I see it. 1

edutech4schools Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 I decided to pick a new name for my limited company and was very surprised to find 'ICT Network Solutions Limited' was available. Thanks for all the advice 1
Garacesh Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I decided to pick a new name for my limited company and was very surprised to find 'ICT Network Solutions Limited' was available. Thanks for all the advice Very surprising! You'd have thought somebody would have been squatting such a generic name like that. Maybe marketing is too focussed on establishing a brand now, making generic names not worth so much?
MatthewL Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Sounds good but using Edu and Schools may limit you later if you do expand on things and go to cover business. Use your initials, i.e. JS Consulting or JS Systems for example allow you to cover anything without been tied down to an area.

Mullaney18 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Is this because of the DBS change? I might be talking absolute bubbles here but if self employed techies have to go limited, could someone on Edugeek form a ltd company and use it as our employer, so to speak?
Danp Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I was told having a company name the same as another company is not an issue, only becomes an issue if they are local to you. If there is computers4u in Newcastle and you setup in Devon with the same name that is fine. Speak to your local bank who you plan to bank with for your business and they can advise you.
plexer Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Seems a very strange policy and would like to see what has made it happen there must be loads of self employed coaches and dance teachers etc..... that are not limited companies. Ben
