It Contracting/ Consulting Company Name

Posted by packboy5 on 9/10/2013 at 6:57 PM ET 250 Points
I am starting a business specializing in IT contracting and consulting for homes and SMBs and am looking for suggestions for a business plan, including name, services offered, and motto. The following are the services I'm planning on offering:

1.Hardware and Software Installation/Repair
2.Network Design, Installation, and Maintenance
3.Wireless Networking
4.Security Installation and Evaluation
6.Website Creation/Design
7.Audiovisual System Installation
8.Audio Production

I'm currently thinking about the name "Pronetting", for programming and networking. If anyone has any suggestions or tips they would be appreciated.

    Your menu of offerings is likely to make it seem that you're not an expert in any of these things - since website development is, for example, a markedly different skill than audio production. Also, you mention "IT" but that's only the first 3 points of what you offer in your menu. Home owners likely have very different needs than SMBs as well. So, if you're trying to appeal to all these groups with a single business name/offer, you're likely to have trouble communicating "why hire me/us" to them.

    Can you explain who specifically is likely to hire you, for what services, when, and where they'd be located?

    Thank you for your response. Groups most likely to hire us are home users for network installations and computer repair, and small businesses for networking, such as design, implementation, and maintenance, as well as web design. These will be are biggest services.

    Most clients will be local, but I would like to be able to expand to remote areas as well.

    Thank you.

    My thoughts are that you're doing small scale installations, in house. You'll be dealing with people face to face, owners and householders. Coming into their space and hopefully leaving it a better place. You'll have experience of doing this - and your customers will have said some things about you that are extremely positive. Putting this simply: use them!! Sharing them with us will give us way more focus for your name. Remember that you'll be a welcome guest in their home or business. I'd concentrate on your name too. The names'll do well enough without - personally I'd trust you more if you presented yourself to me as a human.

    In the meantime how about

    I like "Mr Setup"

    You could extend this a little to become "Eric Claus, Mr Setup" :-)
