Naming tips

How to name a handyman business

  1. 1

    Say what you fix

    Homeowners search for "handyman" and "home repair" when they have a list. Put one of those words in the name, or right after it, so people know what you do from a van, a yard sign or a review.

  2. 2

    Don't name a trade you can't do

    In many places, electrical, plumbing and gas work needs a licensed tradesperson, and bigger jobs can need a contractor license. Words like "electric", "plumbing" or "contractor" can suggest work you aren't licensed for. Rules vary by state, so check yours first.

  3. 3

    Make it readable from across the street

    A lot of handyman work comes from neighbors who see your truck or a sign in a yard. A short name in big letters, with your phone number, is easier to read and remember than a long one.

  4. 4

    Pick a name you can grow into

    "Mount & Assemble Co." is clear for a specialty but narrow once you add drywall and doors. A town name can hold you back when you cover the next town over. Choose a name for the business you want in three years.

  5. 5

    Keep away from franchise names

    National handyman franchises and hardware chains protect their names, and names close to theirs confuse customers. Plain words like "handy" and "fix" are fine on their own, but if your idea sounds like a brand people already know, keep looking.

After the name

Then take your business further

The name you pick carries into each next step, so you never start from a blank page.

Questions

Naming a handyman business

Starting a handyman services business? What it costs, what you can make, and every step from your name to your first customers. How to start a handyman services business
What makes a good handyman business name?

It says you fix things, sounds dependable, and is easy to read on a van and say on the phone. It should also be free to use where you work. Many good ones are simple: "handyman" or "home repair" with your name, your town or a word for steady, careful work.

Can I use "contractor" or "construction" in a handyman business name?

Be careful. In some states, using "contractor" in your name or ads without a contractor license is not allowed, and it can suggest you take on bigger jobs than you do. "Handyman", "home repair" and "home services" are safer words for small jobs. Rules vary by state, so check with your state's licensing board before you choose.

Can I name my handyman business after myself?

Yes, and it builds trust when people are letting you into their home to work. In most states, running a business under a name other than your own full legal name means registering it as an assumed name, or DBA. If you form an LLC, its name follows your state's rules.

How do I check whether a handyman business name is taken?

Search your state's business records, look for the name with your town on Google and in local groups, check that the .com and the social handles you want are free, and search the US trademark database. PressUp's Business Name Checkup can check a name against your state's records for you.
