Default Re: How did you come up with the name for your virtual assistance company?
I had to choose my name almost on the spot because I was going to do some freelance writing for a company who requested I supply an EIN. I had just begun thinking about starting a VA business, so I figured if I was getting the EIN I should probably just jump in and attach a business name to it. I chose iQuill Virtual Solutions. I intend to focus on writing, document preparation, design services, and author assistance, so I wanted something that hinted at writing and I'm an office supply freak and collect fountain pens (I managed an office supply store for a few years, so I blame my obsession on that!), so 'quill' popped in my head. I added the little 'i' at the beginning to support the technical/internet aspect, and now my logo has a feather quill above the words with a droplet of ink where the dot on the little 'i' goes. I was going for a high quality old school meets technologically advanced efficiency feel...not sure I succeeded, but I'm digging it so far nonetheless.
