Did it just come to you? I've had several suggestions on a name that are good but nothing has got me excited yet. I think I am answering my own question, I think I need to just chill and let things flow and the name will come. It's way too early to be freaking out. lol Was it really hard for other people or am I just overanalizing it? Did it just come to you?

All these tips were very helpful but I am stuck on naming my business. Was it really this hard for everyone else. I have a list of about 30 different names but none of which is working for me. Any advise. The name is what is holding me back from even getting started. HELP!!! All these tips were very helpful but I am stuck on naming my business. Was it really this hard for everyone else.

In the US, the Small Business Development Center is a great resource. They offer courses and individual advice.

As well as the Inland Revenue running courses, in the UK your local Business Link run FREE courses too which I went on and are really useful. Also Lisa, do you know where and how much your sisters badge maker cost? One of my new ideas is to make little compact mirrors and I know you can do them with badge makers, but don't know where to get one from (and if I can afford one!) xx Some really good advice you’ve given there Lisa – could have done with it myself early last year so I’m sure it will help those who haven’t made the step yet!!

Not that i have done this it is in my big TO DO pile of paperwork that i was meant to plow through in the holidays - but didnt. You would never guess that i am a book keeper. hey ho also dont forget that if you are not earning a huge amount of money there is aform to fill in that makes you exempt from the minimum NI payment.

I'm off to a 'Becoming Self-employed' one next week, where I'll learn more about doing my accounts and tax returns, and hopefully get to ask all the questions that are particular to my circumstances. The best thing is that it's completely FREE.

I only wish I had something like this nine months ago. hehe! But there are definitely tips in there that are useful to businesses that have been up and running for awhile (like the printer--finally just got one to hook up to my laptop!). What a great list!!
