    Catchy Name Needed [SERIOUS]

    For my own business, where I plan to go around fixing peoples computers, building their home networks and taking viruses off them.

    Any ideas?

    I'd say a good idea would be to just make sure you don't destroy someones data.
    Seriously though, give your solicitors / lawyers / insurance company a ring.

    Repeat this to your clients as necessary : "It would be cheaper to have you killed."

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    Get a law talking guy to draw up a standard contract that your customers must agree to. I mean look at some EULA they take no responsibility for anything, you don't have to go that far.
    Agree maybe to replace parts you damaged, but in no way accept any responsibility for loss of data (the money valued would be near impossible to determine). The customers should have backups if they don't too bad.

    You don't sell computers so calling yourself Gravity Computers is a bit of a misnomer.

    Also there is the small consideration that there are at least 2 other companies in the world with the same name. And thats just on the first page of google.

    When you settle on a name, rent yourself a premium rate phone number and then most of your income will come in that way.

    Let them ring you and then don't bother turning up to fix their machine. They'll soon call back to complain and you'd get even more money!! Its a win/win situation, well not for the client, but they are losers anyway.

    I think no name for something like that is better. It sounds like something "personal" where they should just know you by name and call you if they need help
