Help me come up with a good name for a fire safety consulting business?

Hi all,
I'm starting a business providing consulting to private individuals and communities interested in preparing their homes/yards/communities for wildland fires and mitigating the fire losses by choosing appropriate vegetation, remodelling/constructing their homes to be fire resistant, etc. I need a business name that is short and catchy- and available as a domain name. Ideas like firesafe, firesafety, firesafeyard, firescaping, have occurred to me, but they don't say what I'm trying to do, and they aren't that catchy. Any thoughts? (If you have a super idea, I'd be happy to pay a modest creativity bonus- I'm a wildland firefighter, so I can't afford to pay too much!) Thank you . . .

"FireWise" - Innovative Fire Prevention Solutions

or

"Fire Safety Solutions" FSS?

Just a couple of ideas. Obviously, you'd have to check and make sure no one else has that name registered in your state.

If you like one, use it. Good luck with your new business!

I like "Learn or Burn"....You are consulting a service to educate them about fire-safety, which if it isn't practiced...well, you and/or your property go up in smoke. Good Luck!

Here are some things to consider when choosing your name:-

Are you starting the business, with the intention of selling the business down the track? It may be easier to sell a generically named business, than one with your own personal name.

You have told us what your business intends to do, in its first year, but from my experience dealing with businesses, what they start doing and what they end up doing may be totally different things, because the opportunity presents itself. Don't limit your business by your business name.

If you have a passion or an inspiration from somewhere else use it. Explaining why you choose your name can attract people to your business, and your enthusiasm. DR Evils cat, Fluffy chinchillaâ€™s, Tabby Cat, Nine Lives, Purrrrfect are all great names for someone who likes cats.

Make sure that it is easy to spell, and pronounce. If someone hears it on the radio, can they google the name, and find you?

In fact if you do choose a name ~ Google it ~ What comes up, is it already in existence somewhere in the world. If you Google my businesses name the only other entry that comes up is a single entry in the Netherlands.

What are your competitors called? Make a list of all of your competitorsâ€¦do you want to sound like them or do you want to be distinguished from them?

Here in Australia a company has started called VIRGIN STAR http://www.virginstar.com.au/ ~they are an internet & IT service provider. They have gained a huge amount of exposure, because they have used both the name Virgin, from the Richard Branson empire, and Star, we have a fleet of planes here called Jet Star. The simple choice of their name has gained them a huge amount of exposure.

Another story ~ a client of mine ran a well known business in a county of England. A similar sounding business started up in the next suburb. There business wee not similar the new business sold training infrastructure such as projectors. My clients business used to receive cheques (b.t.w. correct spelling here in ozïŠ), in his companies name, that were probably intended for the other company. Well of course he would give the money backâ€¦but he also received orders that were intended for the other company, purchase orders would come through on his fax machineâ€¦he would source the equipment, and sell it to them making a tidy & easy profit.

Hope that helps a bit.

I wouldn't use the word "fire" in the name.. you're on the right track..be catchy but be very different. Your business name doesn't have to reflect what you do.. thats what you and your reputation are for. Does Yahoo and Google indicate anything to do with internet or search engines? What are good nick names for fires? Types of fires? The Alpha Beaters sounds good.. a play on Alpha fires.. and using Beater instead of Beta..

In ancient Greek mythology there was a character named Charon. This guy was a boatman that ferried lost souls across the river Styx to Hades (Hell ). Since you are trying to thwart fire from individuals and communities by providing an end to the path, How about Charon's Gate. Please let me know if you use this and I'll invoice you for a modest fee of only 10 million bucks (kidding). Bless you for your work and efforts.

I request to select one good name for our FIRE SAFETY company, i will be very much thanks full to you
