Choosing a Business NameA doubleshot of business news espresso with extra froth Choosing a business name is arguably the most important part of starting a business. Botch this one and it will haunt you for a long time. A winning business name is more than just a catchy phrase, it should draw business in itself.

On the About Us page, I tell the story of this company name that originally started as BCT then GFX. Both of these were already taken so I went with GreatFX.

It may be one of the more obscure names I’ve come up with, but it works for me :-) Recommended Reading: How To Create a Great Business Name Bookmark to:
