New Handy Service Business - Need Name/tagline

Posted by Anonymous on 1/19/2008 at 11:40 AM ET 250 Points
Greetings and thanks in advance for your help!

Two of my sons and daughter are starting a handy services business in Central Florida.

Between them - they have expertise in air conditioning repair, general home repairs, painting, tiling, and minor renovation.

I am seeking a name with some sizzle as well as something that would be memorable if someone was reading it on their future truck!

The kids all have different last names so we can't use our name in the business name.

    You should ask some of your existing customers how they would describe your services to their friends or other businesses. You should use these words in the name. It is less important that the name makes sense to you, it is more important that it makes sense to your customers and prospects.

    Some ideas:
    Family Handyman
    Handyman Family

    Here is an article about Naming your business.

    Our challenge is we don't have any customers yet! It's a new business!

    We have some new ideas though....

    Sorry, I can't think of anything else, but I hope it helps:

    "Handy Help: Put your dirty work in our hands"
    "Functional Fixers"
    "Functional Family Fixers"
    "Famous Family Fixers"
    "Ready Repairs"
    "The Fix-it Family"
    "Family Home Face-lifts"
    "Family Fixers: Face-lifts for the home"
    "Family Focus on Fixing"
    "Foxus on Fixing"

    Be sure to check your slogan against a registered trademark database. If it sounds too obvious/general, it's probably registered already!

    Good luck!

    Thanks for all the responses...

    We're re-thinking whether we should put an emphasis on my daughter being part of the team since some people have a negative image about woman and handywork.

    I like Fix-It Family though.....

    Does anyone have any reaction to "Ultimate Fix-It Guys"?
