What will your business look like? Will you have a store? Sell on the Internet?

Give us a paragraph that describes your business.

I will be working from home...
I will doing consulting and teaching people about what herbs they can take to supplement their diets and herbs that help with ailments such as colds, anxiety, digestion, etc. Basically, they come to me with questions about what is bothering them and I educate them as to what they can take and ways to improve their eating habits. I have people come to me and say, "I have a cold, what can I take that is natural or my son has the stomach flu, what can he take that is natural to fight it."
Hope that makes sense.

"As Nature Intended" I would be careful about advising people on what to take, law suit waiting to happen, maybe have a list of herbs and their intended use might be a better route.

Thanks for the ideas..
You can advice, but you cannot diagnose or saw any herb will cure a disease.
Trust me...I understand the legalities of it or I wouldn't be doing it. I will be very careful

I think just your name and Herbal Consultant would be nice and professional.

Try it this way.

Sage Advice
Herbal Consultant
or
Live Wiseley
Herbal Consultant

In other words "Sage Advice" or "Live Wiseley" is your name and Herbal Consultant is what you do.

ETA: Wisely is the correct spelling of the word version so some might look quickly and think "too dumb to spell" so if you use it make sure your name is pretty prominent in any printing. I like Sage Advice myself. Just have to make sure you're an expert on sage. LOL

How about, "What would Jesus Sage?" I mean that as lighthearted, not a dig at cha, honest. I'm am odd duck and have a touch of cabin fever. I'll likely take some hops for that [grin]. I agree on not using the "wiseley"... most people won't get it. "Sage Advice on Herbs for Better Health" as a tagline? Best and best of luck to you.

Just wanted to update everyone...
I decided on a name and have a business up and running...
Wiseley Used Herbs is the name.
I make and sell homemade natural artisan soaps, lip balms, teach on occasion at our local college as an herbalist, and do private consultations on occasion. I love making soap and it's a great way to use herbs wisely.

I know you've decided on the name but when I first read it I thought you meant "used" herbs as in recycled lol. Then I reread and got the gist of it...just my initial reaction.

If you're just doing a DBA or something your name is probably fine. In my experience as a CPA I've seen people "outgrow" their name -they branch into something else and find that their name is rather limiting. I always suggest making sure your name will encompass anything you might do in the future. I think your name "Wisely Used Herbs" does that -it really keeps the doors wide open (within the herbal field). Just not so sure about the used herbs...

I understand. All my customers understand that it simply means using herbs wisely. My tag line in the business is Learning the benefits of herbs.... It has worked out well so far. It does leave open for me to different things if I want to, but I think making soap with herbs and teaching how to use herbs is all I can handle right now.
