Ideas for a business name

Options
I am in the process of setting up a business but I am really struggling for a name. I supply a wish tree with sweets on it for weddings and special occasions, any ideas to get me started?

Thanks

  • Hi Sarah - you could consider a short business name with a tag line, e.g, "Wishing Tree - Gits for Special Occasions". Alternately goggle search other businesses doing something similar which might then inspire you. Unless registering as Ltd Co, and not in same area you can duplicate an existing name f you find one you really like, or slightly modify to add your locality.

    If I were you I would avoid a name directly telling the tale of what you do, you may flourish or trends may change and want to diversify in a years time and then are stuck with a specific name.

    Most companies are either acronyms, completely unrelated (Apple, Tesco, etc) or random words. If you are going down the route of naming your business after what you do then I would suggest the Wedding part of the name is more significant than the fact it is sweet trees
