Title: Name my company Post by: ssmith general on March 21, 2011, 03:31:05 PM Winner gets some e-cred.
Here are some of my initial thoughts. Alabama bush hogging Bush Hog Alabama Alabama farm and estate services (or one or the other) Alabama upkeep You get where I am thinking, but I am open to any and all serious idea's and I will laugh at the silly ones. To start we will offer bush hogging and loader services. Which will include small tree removal as necessary to clear an area. Soon we will offer backhoe services and french drain design and construction by a licensed hydrogeologist. the latter will be pricey and may or may not take off. Ok, lets hear the criticism and ideas please. Title: Re: Name my company Post by: 2Stater on March 21, 2011, 03:36:04 PM Bama Clearcut LLC

Boss Hog Brush Services Miguel's Brush Services. (Just for consideration. I read an article that there has been an emergence of non-latino owned businesses marketing themselves as such to take advantage of the stereotypes and inherent bias in some US industries, specifically lawncare and house cleaning services. The idea was that people are naturally inclined to seek what they consider to be the best service for the best price. The rise in illegal workers in those industries has created a bias that leads people to contact them first thinking they will receive the best price for services.

We are working on the legal side of it over here. It's going to be a few days. I need to get some more seat time anyway and get more efficient.
I forget that I am a licensed professional geologist, so we are also going to offer certified french drain design and construction, property drainage solutions (design and build), trenching and piping for utility, remediation system subsurface manifold installation (this is very specialized), and small backhoe services. Is that too much? I think we divide it nicely between technical and field services the technical aspects wont confuse the hillbillies? What do you all think? You're input is important to me.
