I definitely like Baby's 4 C's alliteration suggestion (especially when MameB put it into fancy print). Here are two more.... A Clean & Organized Home - By Colleen Colleen's Customized Cleaning Service - Cleaning, Organizing...you name it!

I like the fact that you are stating organizing. It gives your business a different perspective. You aren't just cleaning a home, but you are bringing organization to it.

First, good for you, Skootzy! I love your energy and resilience, I really do. You're a 'glass half full' person and I admire that. IMHO, your business name should be short and memorable, but most importantly it should leave no doubt about what services you offer. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the C'lean and Clean by Colleen suggestions. I think the longer names certainly leave no doubt about what services you offer--but are a bit too long. You know, you don't have to use your own name. You could come up with a pseudonym. I mean, you could you use Doris Does Dirt (LOL) or Tidy Tillie---or, not use a personal name and, instead, go with something like CleanSweep or a more staid, geographic reference such as London Cleaning Service. How to get started? I know that in the U.S., S.C.O.R.E. (website: SCORE) is a terrific resource for first-time business people. It consists of retired, successful business people who can work with you 1:1 on helping to develop a business plan--figure out budgets/taxes, etc. (Yes, even you should have one.) The website has lots of advice and, I understand, a desktop guide for getting started. Not sure if Canadian business people are involved, but I'd bet they are. Even if they aren't, a lot of the recommendations would probably apply to any startup business. Good luck! Here's another site, tailored to people starting a cleaning service: Entrepreneur Site. (The actual page for the particular article on this site wouldn't load properly. When you visit Entrepreneur.com, type in 'cleaning business' in the white 'search' space at the top of the page. Then choose the first article listed on the following page, entitled, Tips for Starting a Cleaning Business.)

Those are awesome ideas Lum..thanks for even thinking of me during your sleepless night. You can sometimes do your best thinking when you are in bed...but the magic is to remember these thoughts in the morning lol Talked to ~RG~ this morning and she helped me decide on the 4 C's as it would be in the front of the phone book for advertising etc., (if it came to that down the road lol)

Skootz, I'm just now catching up... I love Colleen's Cleaning & Clutter Control (4 C's). That business name immediately made my heart jump for joy and I was willing to pick up the phone and hire YOU!

Thanks Coco. The only disavantage of anyone from TVCH hiring me would be (as I covered up above) you would have to cover my transportation costs to your place and also the cost of a Nanny here at my house I wish I could just jump on a plane and help each and every one of you. I would love that..but my family wouldn't I have just talked to my "Creative Designer", she is a good friend of mine and she will look into creating some type of logo and flyer for me. woohoo I talked to my accountant of what I can and cannot do regarding starting this business. So we are a go....this is scary for me but very exciting. I am off to Sams tomorrow to start purchasing supplies etc., to start and I am just needing to book someone to work for.

How about "A C'lean Sweep" I like the idea of having the "A" in front in case you do any advertising, better to be at the top of the list.

Sorry, Skootz, but that doesn't make sense. Clutter Control makes sense, but clutter and control does not. What are you going to control? (I know that you want to say that you are controlling clutter, but the name as written does not say that.) What about Colleen's Cleaning and Clutter Control?

I'd think if you have to come in and clutter the place, well, that would cost extra

Skootz - I wished I lived near you because I have always wanted to go into business organizing. I am the organize Queen at work and home. My son has a fit because I am always putting away and picking up. Great name on your business and I wish you the very best! Someday I will be able to have my own! Hopefully!
