Choosing a name families will trust
Families usually choose a care agency at a hard time, often for a parent, so the name should reassure rather than entertain.
- Keep it calm and plain. Puns rarely suit care. Words like Care, Home Care, Companion Care and Care at Home are clear and kind.
- Say what you do. Companion care suggests help with company and daily life; home care covers personal care too. Use the words for the service you're registered to provide.
- Sound settled. A surname or place name (Whitfield Home Care) suggests an agency that has been around for years.
- Use warmth carefully. Kindly, Thoughtful and Gentle work; anything that sounds childish or cute can feel wrong to an older client.
Domiciliary care is the formal UK term, but families rarely search for it, so most agencies put home care or care at home in the name.
Check it's free before you print the sign
Every name here has a Check button, which opens the Business Name Checker: it looks up domains, social handles, the company register and trade mark searches in one place. Before you order signs or cards:
- Company register. In the UK, search Companies House; a limited company's name can't be the same as one already registered. In the US, search your state's business register. In England, an agency providing personal care must also register with the Care Quality Commission (CQC); in Scotland that's the Care Inspectorate, and in Wales Care Inspectorate Wales. Check your name isn't too close to an agency already registered with them.
- Trade marks. Search the UK Intellectual Property Office or the USPTO for marks in your line of work. Registering a company doesn't give you trade mark rights.
- Domain and handles. Try the .co.uk or .com and the Instagram and Facebook names at the same time, and change the name slightly rather than settle for a messy handle.
- Local search. Look up the name with your town. Two similar businesses a few miles apart confuse customers and reviews.
