How to Choose a Name for Your Catering Business

Here are some key factors to consider when choosing your catering business name.

1. Check Name Availability

The first step in choosing the best name for your catering business is making sure the name is available and stands out from the competition. Your goal is to get easily remembered and recognized, so you don’t want a name that sounds too similar to your industry competitors’ names.

You can check the name availability on your state’s Secretary of State’s website. The search will also show similar names, so you can ensure your name is unique in your state.

Also, go to the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s website to see whether the name is trademarked.

2. Check Your State’s Business Name Regulations

Each state has rules regarding business names, often restricting words such as “bank” or “university.” Some states have stricter rules than others. Michigan, for example, has quite a long list of prohibited words. You should be able to find any restrictions and regulations on the Secretary of State’s website.

Upon creating an LLC, it’s mandatory to have either “LLC,” “limited liability company,” or “limited liability” as part of its official name. This ensures clarity and compliance with naming conventions for such entities.

3. Choose a Name with Relevance

Your name should be relevant to your catering products, reflecting your business mission. Often, if you write down a description of your brand identity, you’ll come up with words that have the potential to be used in your business name.

4. Keep It Simple

Your name should be easy to say so that it’s more memorable. It should also be easy to spell so people can search for your catering business online. 

5. Short and Unique

Short, unique, and catchy names tend to stand out. Think Google, which is so catchy and unique that it’s become a verb!

6. Get Feedback

Family and friends can give you an outside perspective on your catering business name. They can offer suggestions and give you feedback on the names you have in mind.

7. Allow for Expansion

As your business grows, you may expand into new product or service lines, so you don’t want a business name that’s too narrow.  For example, “Jane’s BBQ Catering” might be too constricting if you decide to add other types of food to your offerings. That’s why it’s better to go with “Jane’s Catering” from the start.

The name should also have timeless appeal. Don’t try to capture a trend, as those continuously change, and you don’t want a name that could become outdated. 

8. .com is Best

Since domain names that end in .com generally reflect more credibility than alternatives, you should aim for that domain name, if possible. You can use our Domain Name Search Tool to find an available website name and get the perfect domain for your business.

9. Use Keywords to Boost SEO

You’ll want an SEO-friendly name in order to boost your organic search engine rankings. Use keywords that potential customers might search for (e.g., “catering” or “culinary”). 

10. How Does it Sound?

Say the name out loud to see how it rolls off the tongue. Is it pleasant? Does it evoke positivity? You’d be surprised how different a name sounds when you say it compared to when you think it. 

11. Appeal to Emotions

Names that evoke positive emotions can create a connection with your target customers. You want them to feel good about your catering business. 

Common Questions

How do I choose the perfect name for my catering business?

Selecting the ideal name for your catering business is crucial in establishing your brand identity. It involves careful consideration of factors such as your target audience, the type of cuisine you specialize in, and the overall message you want to convey. Your business name should be memorable, easy to pronounce, and relevant to your services. 

Should my catering business name reflect the type of cuisine I offer?

While it’s not mandatory for your catering business name to explicitly state the type of cuisine you offer, it can be highly beneficial. A name that provides culinary hints can instantly convey your expertise and attract customers looking for specific tastes and flavors. However, you can also opt for a more abstract or versatile name that leaves room for future expansion. In our article, we explore the advantages of both approaches and provide examples to guide your decision.

Can I use my own name for my catering business, or is a unique name better?

Using your own name for your catering business can add a personal touch and a sense of authenticity, especially if you have a strong culinary reputation. However, a unique and memorable business name can help you stand out in a competitive market and make a lasting impression on potential clients. It’s essential to consider your long-term goals, target audience, and branding strategy when making this decision. 

Are there any naming conventions or legal considerations I should be aware of when naming my catering business?

There are important naming conventions and legal aspects to consider when choosing a name for your catering business. Conducting a trademark search is crucial to ensure that your chosen name is not already registered by another entity. Additionally, checking domain name availability is essential if you plan to establish an online presence. 

What if I want to rebrand my existing catering business? Can I change my business name?

Rebranding is a common practice in the business world, and changing your catering business name is entirely possible. It can be a strategic move to refresh your brand identity, target a new market, or reflect changes in your services. However, rebranding should be carefully planned and executed to minimize confusion among existing customers.
