Naming your Small Business

Are you having trouble naming your small business? The Wyoming Women’s Business Center can help you come up with a name and help to develop a unique and conceptual logo. But for now here are some tips to help you get started brainstorming the perfect name for your business or product.

Small Business Tip: Creative Tips on How to Name your Business 


When developing a logo, I always start with a bubble brainstorm chart. Ideally, I like to come up with a concept for the company to convey and create the logo and name together. This is just one strategy we can help you with.
There are more brainstorming tips where this came from.
