A fictitious company name is just a matter of saying that you are not going to do business by just your first name and last name, you have decided to pick a company name like ABC computer Solutions of West Palm Beach or whatever.

Pick something that exemplifies what you do or what your main strengths may be. You should have a business name picked out before you start marketing because people will take you a lot more seriously in your IT consulting career.
