Suggestions needed for a home based secretarial business...

Hi,

I have started doing data entry 4-6 hours a week from home and after seeking advice here at MSE I am going to register with HMRC so that I pay my NI and tax and keep everything legal.

I can register by phone but after having looked at the online form they ask for a business name.

So can anyone suggest a name for a virtual secretarial business?

I thought something along the line of 'E-Sec' or 'Upper Case Secretarial Services' but they are a bit lame (lol) - any ideas anyone?

I use Office 2003 - PowerPoint, Word, Excel, FrontPage and Outlook etc and will be offering data entry, typing, spreadsheets and posters/flyers etc.

No prize - sorry! Just a bit of fun for a catchy business name for me to use.

Thanks,

Karen.

Just thought to add that if anyone else has a small business or for home use as well then they might have a look at this site vistaprint.co.uk

They have loads of special offers which give you 100 FREE business cards, postcards, sticky notes, letterheads, notecards, stamps, magnets, brochures and calendars - best to sign up to their email and they send you promotional discount and materials all the time. What you pay for (as most of the promotional stuf is FREE) is the shipping and handling fees, which are cheaper if you choose the 21 days delivery option.

I have had postcards made up FREE to stick in with my eBay parcels and the oversized ones are great for party invitations or flyers for school/scouts events. Also I have done magnets with our email/phone numbers on to give out to friends as well as beautiful 12 page calendars as Christmas presents (you just upload your photos) - these were 1/2 price for 10 and this option often comes up on their promotional mailings.

If you use this link http://www.vistaprint.co.uk/frfuk?frf=584204413110 then I get a referral of £1.

Just have a look, its great for personalised stationery.

A competition with no prize? Do you work for them premium rate phone services, like on the telly?! (Well, I found it amusing!)

Of the top of head, how about SECS APPEAL?

PS Just checked Companies House and my suggestion is available. But I have to admit that I thought SECS IN THE CITY (taken) was far better!

If you don't want a business name, you can just use your own name.

For example you might be: Mr Peter Rabbit trading as Mr Peter Rabbit.
