Default Biz Name Suggestions
Good Evening.

I am trying to decide on a name. Which one sounds better: Everett Virtual Business Services or Everett Business Support Services?

Personally, I like Everett Virtual Business Services, just because it's got "Virtual" in it. It's a little reminder that you'll be working virtually and not in-person.

They both sounds good. Two things to keep in mind. You will need to type this name a lot. How does it feel when you type it? Will you shorten it to EVBS for typing purposes on Twitter or Facebook or for your email address? Also, some of your clients may not be virtual. You might do some in person work. Does that matter to you if you still have virtual in your name? Neither one of these thoughts is really any big deal, just something to think about when choosing a name.

Actually I kind of like Everett Virtual because it is shorter. Maybe incorporate the Business Support Services info into a tag-line?

I struggled with re-naming my business because my name was too long - 21 total letters. You have a good start. A shorter version: Everet Services. Then using a tagline to expand as suggested in the previous post.
Just my two cents.

I like Everett Virtual Business Services, but agree that it might be too long. How about Everett Virtual Services or Everett Business Services?

I agree about typing it out. I really liked the name I chose 'Executive Digital Assistant' but looking back I probably should have picked something shorter as it can be a lot to type especially when I type my email address.

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. I think I am going to go with "Everett Business Services" and include "virtual" in the tag line.
