My last name is Truitt so might be interesting to play off the TRU to come up with name combinations

Business brokers often seem outdated and like a used car salesman.

We need a brand new name for our company because we are reinventing the industry (business brokerage) and bringing a high touch, personalized, web 2.0 approach to a very tired and traditional industry.
