I'm planning on starting a business working with clients who need help organizing, going through things, discarding, selling, giving away, etc. Ideally I would like to work with baby boomers, their families, and caregivers.
Wishing you all the best.
How about:
Downsize with dignity.
Post back with what you decide.
What would I do to start as a professional organizer? I know what it is and the NAPO membership, but how do I price a job? How do I estimate how long it will take?
I'm thinking residential clutter, maybe some office work later. It's a wonderful feeling to make nice before and afters, I just itch to get at it passionately.Hi Kim, I used to be a member of the POC - Professional Organizers in Canada. I never ended up pursuing NAPO membership, but they might offer workshops or seminars to help you with this.
I did attend a few webinars through here:
professionalorganizers.com/
If you check out the Continuing Education page, there is one on Setting Rates. I found that one quite helpful. If you don't want to go that route, I can recommend a few tips:
- Find out what other organizers in your area are charging.
- Join a local chapter of an organizing group
- Find online forums/groups for organizing (check yahoo, facebook or even NAPO)
Good Luck with your new venture! Tina (in Toronto)
I am opening a Organizing business. Organizing garages, desks, offices, kitchens, pantries, bedrooms, closets, basements, sewing rooms, etc.
I am beginning an organizing business and am currently trying to think of a name and a logo.
I'm interested in starting an organizing business. I thought of "Organizing Alchemy", but some said the name sounded too lofty. Others said it wasn't clear enough. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you!

I like the Organizing Alchemy name, but I can see the unclear point. Maybe you could come up with a more clear business name and use the Alchemy as a sub title or catchphrase.
Hope you get some good suggestions.
How about Ducks In a Row (as in the old expression "I've got all of my ducks in a row" meaning organized) Best wishes for success!
How about something short and too the point like Get Organized with JG or Organization Ink?
How about "Thinking Inside the Box"! Good luck.
I am having trouble finding a name I like for my organizing business. Can you please advise? Thanks.
I am starting a new organizing business, and I am stuck on the name. I want the name to be something with serenity in it. Any ideas?

Peace and Order
Serenineatneas
Calm the/your Chaos
Come Together
Sereneneatness (correction to above post)
Calm and Order(ly)
Go With The Flow
All I can think of is Serene Clean but that wouldn't address the organiziational part. I like Calm the Clutter tho'!
Serene Scene?
Pins In A Row
Neat and Orderly
Organized Nation
Chaos Removers
Chaos Be Gone
Organize It!
I am starting a professional organizing business and need help with a name. I would like something elegant and classy. I will cover all areas of organizing and decluttering. I'm even thinking about offering a personal assistant/concierge service.
My initials are CR. A slogan to go with the name would be nice, as well.
Thank you.

I live in Maryland and am starting an organizing business. Please help. I need a name. lol I have been organizing for my friends for years and they are encouraging me to do this as a business. I have a passion and desire to help others in this area. I could also use some tips on how to get started. Any good books or magazines? How to get clients?

I am professional organizer for peoples' homes and offices. Now I want to add a new service for senior citizens, where I help them out and run errands, etc. that they need help with. My current name doesn't seem to fit any more, "Clutter Control Unlimited". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
By karen
I think you should keep the name you have now and then choose another name for the senior service. This way the seniors will identify with you more. Your senior services would be a part of your business, so your business cards should reflect that. Make sure it is a name seniors can identify with : for example : Ace Hardware ...seniors identify with Hardware. If it was say Ace homeware they wouldn't realize it was a hardware store. Hope this helps!
I need help! I am starting my own organization business and I am stuck on the name :/ My last name is Love so it would be great if it was in the name somewhere. I want it to be short, catchy, easy to spell and remember. Anybody have any fantastic ideas?
By B. Love
My initials are A L. I really need to find a cool name. Thanks.

For years I've been wanting to do organizing. I'm now really trying to get out there and do it. Any advice to newbies? I need a catchy name, my initials are R and R or Rachel's. Any ideas?
