Feck IT Ltd has gone
Feck Information Technology Ltd is available though

I set my ltd up with a longish descriptive name and used my surname in it as well.
The descriptive part (should) allow me to work in my two fields of expertise.
I then abbreviated it for banking purposes via a directors resolution.
I registered the domain and various shortened versions in advance so I could do the 'trading as' bit later if needed.

I did not decide on the name by committee i.e. getting the family around the table.

I did think of using something obscure like Glark & Glark but that sounded too much like a bunch of solicitors.

FYI glark,glark,glark is the sound Chickens really make if you pay attention
Yes I do keep Chickens and Ducks, Geese, Sheep, Horses, Dogs and I have even reportedly got some Kids kicking around somewhere as well!

So I have to be a contractor A, to pay for it all, and B, so I can WFH loads to look after them...
Well that is my excuse and I am sticking to it because I am not lucky enough (or good enough) to be Jetting all around the world like some on here, not jealous!

One man band with a name like Marks and Spencers? Surely there would be 2?

Must be using his spouse as a tax mule. Dirty tax avoider.

[ContractorHardman]

not forgetting

J.R Sainsburys
Selfridges
Marks & Spencers
T M Lewin

although you probably havent heard of them as they are all one man band companies

Yeah, John Boot didn't think that one through either.
Or William Henry Smith
Or John Wardle & David Makin's sports shop - OK, so they only used one initial each, a bit like Richard Block & David Quayle.

I'd better ring John Lewis and tell him then.

I always wondered if Tiger Woods Company is called something like

Tiger Woods Inc

Tag line "Making the putts and banging the sluts"

Wonder no longer - it's called Tiger Woods Design. There is also the Tiger Woods Foundation which is his charity.

As for "making the putts", I guess you've not watched much of his golf in the four years since that "tag line" was first suggested

Thanks. Here, have another beer.

[WTFH]

Why not call your company AmazonMP, StarbucksMP or GoogleMP.


Combine the names of the biggest tax dodgers and HMRC won't touch you.

thought as much. Although I do like the 'works for lattes' option. There are so many bizarre company names out there anyway can't really imagine it matters, and agreed finding something that the domain is available for seems like the biggest challenge! Random latin-portugese anagram generator here I come!!

(btw, Tulip Ltd is taken, as is Tulip Consulting Ltd. Even TULIP BUSINESS & CONSULTING SERVICES LIMITED. Damn - that's god all the buzz words right there and just rolls off the tongue )

[SimonMac]

Damn!

Its ok when it is coupled with a bingo call

[mudskipper]

I'd also avoid using the word "Solutions" in the name - that implies that you're going to solve something rather than prolong the problem to maximise billing revenue.

Damn!

NLUK, your second and third links come back as timeouts.

He has let everyone down
