Ask HN: Should I market my consulting work as my name or a brand/business name?

  • Sounds like something a consultant could help you with better than I, but I'm always a fan of incorporating a new company name/brand as its much easier to sell your business and brand regardless of the product/services you deal in, if you decdie to do something else or retire.

  • Brand Name. If you want to look like a schmuck on LinkedIn, name yourself "John Doe Consulting", "John Doe Inc."
