When starting a new business, the quest for the perfect name can be daunting. Is there really such a thing as the perfect name? How important is it to secure a dot com for your brand? Should your personal name be part of the company? In this episode, I explore these questions and share insights on finding a good business name that speaks to your target audience and meets your future goals, whether expanding or selling your business down the road.

Listen to this new 9-minute episode for practical tips on choosing a name that embodies your brand and resonates with your market.

Episode Summary:
In this episode of the Wedding Business Solutions podcast, I discuss how to choose an effective name for a new business. Rami, who owns a DJ company, reached out with this query. I emphasize that there is no perfect name, but a good one suits your market and reflects the services you offer. I highlight key considerations, such as whether you plan to sell the business in the future, the importance of securing a dot com domain, avoiding geographic specifics if you're planning to expand, and the importance of keywords for SEO. I also suggest using AI tools for brainstorming name ideas and advise checking for existing similar names to avoid confusion.
