Straight down the line
The trade's own vocabulary. Nobody has to guess what you sell.
The something

Naming a building firm
Building firms are chosen partly on how permanent they look. A surname and a trade word has outperformed clever branding in this trade for a century.
Before you settle on one
- Check the domain is free. A name you cannot have the address for is not really available.
- Search Companies House and the trade mark register, so you are not building on somebody else's name.
- Say it down the phone to someone who has not seen it written. If they spell it back wrong, keep looking.
