Help name my friend's finance business!
Name my friend's finance business!
My friend is starting up a personal loan type business. (Personal, or debt cosnolidation - NOT Mortgages - Think Prosper.com) She's essentially a broker who helps get the I's dotted and the T's crossed.
Before you cry foul, the business model is based on 2 sales types.
1) a DIY kit that provides the basic information needed to phone/mail down the loan that fits your needs and listings of lenders that will meet that profile based on credit score and the types of lending they do. Cost for this will be a basic $49.95.
2) A "hold-your-hand" service with no upfront costs. Percentage due upon obtaining a loan. This service will likely speed up the results for the borrower as she's already got relationships with many of these smaller lenders and can likely pinpoint the best place to give the loan in short time frames.
A Bonus for both of these is that Credit/Debt awareness, ways to use the money to improve credit score, and a combination of the various Consumer spending knowledge/facts will also be distributed in package 1 and more direct training will be provided in package 2 (think consumerist, iwillteachyoutoberich blog, etc)
She also hopes to educate the borrowers on how she thinks it might be best get out debt or at least be on the right path with the new money they borrow (likely at way better interest rates than credit cards and such if they have a decent income and can snowball or payback their debt with a little help)
Problem is she's not a marketing whiz (nor am I)
Looking for a business name that sounds and looks good, hopefully with the .com available and if we're really lucky.. a 1-8xx-abcdefgh telephone number also available. (Phone number doesn't need to match the name, but bonus points if it can)
I think it's a worthy goal and many of the people she expects to help are either not web-savvy or wouldn't have the time and patience to try to sift through and piece together all the info and filter out the bad to get to the good stuff.
What do you think MeFi-tes? Worth your time and effort to help on this goal?
