Default Cking assistance
I'm trying to move ahead with my virtual assistance business and I believe I've come up with my business name, however I can't decide on a tagline. I'm not wanting to specialize right away as my first priority is gaining clients so that I can leave my current full-time job. I have worked in different administrative roles for the past 15 years and owned a bookkeeping business for 15 years that I ended in 2006. However, with this business, I'd rather focus on computer based work not related to bookkeeping.

My business name will be Cking Clarity Business Solutions and these are some examples of taglines that I have come up with:

- Turning chaos into clarity
- Bringing clarity to your business vision
- Assisting you virtually so you can focus on your business

Does anyone have a preference or any suggestions? I would also really appreciate any comments on my business name. My next step is to formally register the business and set up my domain name, so I would really like some outside input before I put pen to paper (or click 'add to shopping cart')!

Thank you for your help!

Cindy

Hi Cindy,

I like the following:
Quote:
Bringing clarity to your business vision
I think I would shorten it to just - Bring carity to your business -

Also
Quote:
Turning chaos into clarity
sounds good, the other one seems to be vague to me.

My two cents worth, hope this helps

Hi Cindy, great start! Congratulations on the progress you've made in your business development

I wanted to say that I really like 'Clarity Business Solutions'. While it's not a bad idea to include your name in your business moniker it seems a little long to me to include the 'CKing'.

As to the taglines you proposed - I really liked 'Turning chaos into clarity...' as a starting point.

I'd love to hear what you finally decide to go with!

I had wanted to include my name not only to personalize the business, but as a play on words (i.e. cking...seeking) and use the "cking clarity" as the short form name for my business to use for an e-mail address or other purposes where the full name would be too long.

Is the play on words not obvious enough...or worse yet, too corny?

Thanks so much for your input Ruth and Tess - I really appreciate your suggestions. It's great to get an outside opinion - you can only ask family and friends for so long!

Cindy

I agree with Tess on the business name "'Clarity Business Solutions" as it sounds more professional, my vote for tagline is "Turning Chaos into Clarity" very clever!

You will find that this forum is absolutely fantastic, people share their knowledge and experience which is invaluable for others who are starting out.

Congratulations on starting your own business, good luck, and I hope it is everything you dreamed!

I like Clarity Business Solutions, however it is already being used. I thought it would be good to use my name to keep the business name unique. There is also a Cking Consultancy Services already. I know this might open up my tagline question again, but I've thought of a couple of more options for my business name. I would really appreciate everyone's input (even if it is to tell me to give up completely on using my name)! lol

Cking Solutions or
Cking Business Solutions
"Look no further, we have the solution for you!"

Cking Assistance Virtually
Tagline: ?

Cking Clarity Business Support
"Turning chaos into clarity."

Thanks again,
Cindy

Hi Cindy,

I like these names, short and sweet. And the tagline fits perfectly.
