I have decided to start my own handyman business. I am currently doing odd jobs for people, but I want to make it official and thus I need to get a good business name while legally getting all my ducks in a row.
In the state of Idaho, I only need to be certified if I do plumbing or electrical. If I get a request for plumbing or electrical work I have friends who are certified that have agreed to work with me on those jobs.
I am in the process of getting a business license by the state, and will soon be bonded for $3000.00. This week I will open a business bank account, but I need a good name.
I already have business cards, (image below) I made with my computer. I also made a flyer (image below) that I have in many stores in towns throughout the County I live in. So far I have been getting good responses and I am actually getting more jobs than I expected.
My last name being Ness, gives me a good start for a catchy name. I have come up with 5 names I am considering.
Please help me by choosing which of the following names you think would be best. Mind you, I will be using this name for as long as my business is profitable
Helpful-Ness Handyman Services
NESS HANDYMAN SERVICES
Ness For Less Handyman Services
NESS Handyman Express
Handi-Ness Services
For obvious reasons I omitted the complete phone number and email address for this post
My business card
My Flyer
Your Ness Home Improvement?
Thanks. :)
Happy-Ness Handyman Service
Fly-by-Night Handyman Service
Craftsman Household Service.
Sadly, todays generations are clueless about Elliot Ness and the untouchables.
Promis I will stay away from it. LOL
Ness will clean up your Mess.
Why not get a real license ? Be a real contractor. Handymen are shady
Plus from your perspective. What do you use as contracts ? Do you even use them ? If you dont and someone doesnt pay. Then what ?
You have NO STANDING in court without license AND PERMITS
do you pull permits for your jobs ? You better.
Most of the law ( liens etc ). Protect You
Illegal aliens try this gambit here in CA all the time. I can tell you for a fact as an electrician I have to CLEAN UP TGEIR ILLEGAL WIRING ALL THE TIME and it pisses me off !
Good luck
That is a good one, until they here me cuss after hitting my thumb with the hammer.
LOL

As Johnny Fever would say, “It’s time for more news and Les Nessman.”
Remember the Phone Police?
Yes I agree, I am in there process of also changing my cell number over. I am hoping I can keep the same number and just change the area code.
DBA is sufficient.
How about “Things your husband won’t do”.

Change to Services Include or something similar.
Call “Helpful Ness” and reduce your stress
Handyman extraordinaire
I have a solution for you. Stop hiring illegals.
Thanks. I like the one you offered, but my wife says that I should maybe stay away from the word express, since it refers to quick and fast.
I like Helpful-Ness and Handi-Ness.
Another from me.
