Tips For Naming A Security Company

Naming a business is hard, especially if you don’t have any ideas or a place to start. So, before you dive in, grab a piece of paper and a pen or open up a blank spreadsheet. 

Then, use it as a place to brainstorm ideas and write down words or phrases that come to mind as you go through the tips below. 

From there, we’ll talk about narrowing things down and landing on the perfect name. 

1. Keep It as Short as Possible

Short business names are usually snappier, catchier, and easier to remember. Ideally, you want to stick to two to five syllables and hopefully no more than 25 characters total. 

However, the shorter the name, the better. 

That said, there are exceptions to this, and it’s not a hard rule. But when you think about huge, notable brands, which ones come to mind?

Nike. Apple. Ikea. Febreeze. Target. Honeywell. 

They’re easy to remember because they’re short, simple, and brandable. 

Obviously, there are exceptions to these rules. But typically, the shorter and simpler your name, the easier it is for everyone to remember. 

2. Avoid Words That Are Hard to Say & Spell

Voice-to-text and voice search are more popular now than ever before. So, it’s important to consider making your name easy to pronounce and hear. 

To do this, avoid using:

• Commonly misspelled words
• Complex terms that are hard to spell
• Words that have several pronunciations
• Homophones like to, too, and two

Try to keep things as concise and simple as possible. 

3. Consider Security Related Terms

Since you’re opening a security company, it might make sense to use security-related words in the name, especially if you’re feeling stuck. It may help to start brainstorming terms, phrases, and words to get all your ideas down on paper. 

For a boost of creativity, expand use the thesaurus to find synonyms around the words of what your business does.  You can either use the thesaurus function from your word processor or thesaurus.com to develop additional synonyms.

From there, you can cross off bad ideas or any terms you don’t like. 

4. Phrases Your Customers Use

Your business exists for your target audience, so it’s important to consider phrases and terms they use when hiring a security company.

There are quite a few places you can look to see what they’re saying, including:

• Facebook groups, posts, and stories
• Forums related to the security industry
• Trade journals

Alternatively, you can ask friends or relatives in your target audience. Hearing it directly from them may help you brainstorm and narrow down your choices. 

Remember to avoid anything limiting your business’s future growth if you decide to go in another direction down the road.

5. What’s Your Specialty?

Do you specialize in a particular service? Maybe you focus on security services for buildings or special events or even investigation services. 

Regardless of your specialty, consider alluding to it in the name of your business. 

6. Neighborhoods, Cities, and Nicknames

Including the name of your city, street, or neighborhood is an excellent way to encourage local shopping and create a strong sense of community in your area. 

You can also think about nicknames for your city or neighborhood, as well. Here are some examples to use as inspiration:

• Southside Security Co.
• Wilmington Watchdogs
• Pittsburg Protection Services

With that said, make sure the name you choose isn’t limiting if you decide to move or expand your security company down the road. 

7. Incorporate Your Name

If you’re still struggling to find the perfect name, consider using your name, a nickname, or something personal and unique to you. 

This is a fantastic way to build a personal brand if that’s something you want to do. Some great examples of this in action include:

• Smith’s Security Services
• Chuck’s Patrol Co.
• Bubba’s Security Solutions

If you go this route, keep in mind it may make it harder to sell your security company later on since the buyer probably won’t share the same name.

Finding the Perfect Name: Putting It All Together

By now, you should have a lengthy list of words, phrases, and terms you can use in your business name. At this point, I highly recommend going through and removing any that are hard to spell or pronounce. 

Now, you can start combining pieces until something stands out. It may help to create a list of potential names you can use. From there, you can narrow things down to your favorites. 

But before you make your final decision, it’s important that your new name passes a few tests. 

Say It Out Loud

Make sure you say your new name out loud. It may look great as a logo, domain name, and on a business card. But it also needs to sound good when you say it out loud. 

You can also sit down with someone and talk about your business. Does saying the name in casual conversation sound natural? If not, you may want to consider something simpler or easier to say. 

Logo Design

Lastly, think about how to incorporate your new name into a logo. Logos should be simple, memorable, and indicative of your brand. 

Take Apple, for example. Their business name easily incorporates into a logo. And today, it’s a household symbol that everyone immediately recognizes. 

A logo is an important part of your brand identity, so don’t forget to consider turning your name into a memorable logo as you make your final decision.

Is Your Security Guard Name Available?

At this point, you should have several top considerations to choose from. And the best way to narrow it down further is to check each one for availability. 

This step is helpful because using a name that someone else is using could be very costly, time-consuming to rebrand your business, and possibly embarrassing. There are several places to look to check whether a name is available to use, so let’s walk through the more common ones.

 

 

Hopefully, you now have some good name ideas for your security company. Once you have narrowed this list to just a few and researched that they are all available, start asking friends, family, and potential customers their thoughts to get feedback, and then pick your perfect security company name!
