You have a great product, a wonderful team and excellent business acumen — still, things aren't working out the way they are working for your competitors. You have pulled out all the stops, but nothing seems to help. Sound familiar? Then read on, because today you might find that the answer to your worries lies within business name numerology.

Do you remember Shakespeare's popular saying ‘What’s in a name?’

Gertrude Stein, in her poem Sacred Emily, said ‘Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.’’ What both the famous authors meant was, no matter what you call an object, it will remain that object only.

Today I am going to defy the most famous writers and tell you that there’s a lot in a name. We will discuss how business name numerology is an important factor in your business’ success.

The science of energy

Money is energy — so are you, me and everyone else. Even the names that we call each other are energy.

Every alphabet and letter has energetic vibrations.

Whether it is your child’s name or your business’ name, the vibrations that name produces has a direct impact on talents, abilities, shortcomings, nature, features and future of the name holder.

Numerology in itself is a science. It is based on the belief that everything in the world is made of numbers and can be reduced to a numerical value.

Numerology is the study of numbers and their mystical meanings. All numbers are believed to have their unique energy vibrations.

According to numerology, numbers can help you better understand and navigate life with a greater sense of purpose.

Naming the business is a big thing, and numerology can add the required thrust to the success of the business. Numerology can be applied to different aspects including:

Business/Company name
Brand’s name
Owner’s name
Owner’s date of birth
Logo design
Tender and launch dates

There are various methods developed over time to understand how names impact our energy and attract other energetic vibrations. Let us examine two.

How to use numerology to choose a strong name

We discussed in the starting that numerology is complete science. Just like any other field in science, there have been many pieces of research, experiments and therefore different theories on numerology. In order to arrive at a suitable name for your business, there are multiple methods to calculate your expression numbers.

Expression number is the core number in numerology. It is calculated by assigning numbers to each letter in your company’s name.

The two most popular methods of calculating expression numbers are:

Pythagorean

Pythagoras, the famous mathematician who was fascinated by numbers, gave his theorem on how numbers affect our lives.

Going by Pythagoras’ method, the name APPLE will have the expression number:

1+7+7+3+5 = 23

Further adding the numbers to reach a single-digit number, we get 2+3 = 5.

Chaldean

This system was founded by ancient Babylonians.

Going by Chaldean method, the name APPLE will have the expression number:

1+8+8+3+5 = 25

Further adding the numbers to reach a single-digit number, we get 2+5 = 7.

The major difference between the two systems is that while the former assigns numbers to alphabets on the count of 1-9, the latter believes ‘number 9’ to be a transformational number and uses a scale of 1-8.

The Pythagoras method is the most famous and we will follow this method to discuss business name numerology further in this article.

Business name numerology: What does each number mean

Number 1: No. 1 is considered to be an auspicious number in numerology world. It is believed to be the number of leaders, innovators, first movers and explorers.

Number 33 – The Number of the Lord of Wealth (Kubera)

33 is considered the most fortunate number for businesses. This number is more impactful for persons born on 6, 15, 24 days of the month.

More than the birth date, people with life path number 6 can achieve great heights while using this number for their business.

Number 51 is splendid and is related to fortune.

Some of the world-famous business names in 51 are Berkshire Hathaway and General Motors.

The other fortunate numbers for businesses in the 6 series are 42, 15, 24, 87. In general, the number 6 is compatible with all types of birth numbers, but they yield their maximum impact for 6 born or 6 life path numbers.

The most beneficial numbers for business in numerology are in the 6, 5, 9, and 1 series. These are the most ideal, and most of the fortune 500 companies have their names in one of these series only.

Life Path Number

Once you’ve identified the business name, another important factor is to decide the auspicious date for your business registration or start of operations.

Life Path Number is similar to a numerological zodiac sign and is an effective technique to help you decide the dates. Your life path number follows you throughout life in the form of your motivations,and objectives.

????How to calculate the Life Path Number

Take any date’s numerical value, add all those digits together by category (year, month, day), and keep adding the digits together until you end up with a single digit.

For example: if you’re planning to register your company on July 8, 2022, or 7/8/2022.

First, you’ll reduce the year to a single digit by adding its digits together like 2+0+2+2 = 6.
Now you’ll add date, month and year together: 6 (for the year) + 8 (for the day) + 7 (for the month) = 21.
Finally, add these digits together to get a single-digit numerical value: 1+2 = 3.

You can also use this tool to calculate the Life Path Number of your business name.
