5. Create Something Unique

Do you have a unique name? Is there something unique about your business or personality? 

Those unique traits are perfect for your lawn care business name!

Although, keep these general guidelines in mind when choosing something unique:

  • Avoid including city names if you plan to expand
  • Decide on a name that’s consistent with your brand
  • Choose something that’s easy to spell and pronounce
  • Don’t choose anything that’s similar to the competition
  • Perform online research to make sure no one else is using that name

6. Make It Long-Lasting

You want your lawn care business name to outlast you—especially if you plan on selling it one day.

For example, the name “Paul Deeds and Daughters Lawn Maintenance” is unique and would appeal to your target audience.

However, do your daughters plan on buying the business and passing it on to their daughters? What happens if your daughters have sons?

Don’t limit your lawn care business name to something too granular. Instead, consider the sellability of your business’ name.

Deciding on a lawn care business name that works now and in the future is key to success.

7. Register Your lawn Care Business Name

You’ve chosen a lawn care business name that you love. Although, the process isn’t quite over—you still need to get it registered.

During the legal business name registration process, you’ll discover if the name is available in your state.

Choosing a business name that’s not being used yet, allows you to choose a business name that’s legal and can be used long-term.

To find out if your lawn care business name is available, simply visit your state’s online database. From there, the process is relatively easy and affordable to get registered.

However, before officially registering your business, it’s CRITICAL to meet with a trusted CPA (i.e. certified public accountant).

The right CPA will help you decide how to register your business with the entity that best fits your business needs.
