Quick answer
Business numerology matches the numbers a business carries (its name, launch date, phone and account numbers) to the owner’s date of birth. Unlike your date of birth, all of these can be chosen, so business numerology is one of the most practical uses of numerology.

What business numerology looks at
- The business or brand name: its Chaldean name number should be friendly to the owner’s Driver and Conductor numbers.
- The launch or registration date: a date whose numbers support the owner’s chart.
- Business numbers: phone numbers, and other numbers the business uses every day.
- The owner’s own chart: the owner’s Lo Shu Grid and personal year number show which periods favour expansion and which favour consolidation.
Numbers often linked with business
Each number brings a different energy to work. Number 5 (Mercury) is linked with trade, communication and quick deals; 1 (Sun) with leadership and new ventures; 3 (Jupiter) with teaching, advice and growth; 6 (Venus) with luxury, beauty and hospitality; and 8 (Saturn) with slow, steady and lasting success. The right number depends on the owner’s chart and the kind of business.

Visiting card and brand numbers
Numerology for a visiting card follows the same rules: the name and title printed on it, the business phone number and the address should support the owner’s numbers. See our guide to mobile, vehicle and house numbers for how numbers like these are checked.
Frequently asked questions
Can numerology help my business succeed?
Numerology cannot replace a good product or hard work, but it helps you choose a name, a launch date and business numbers that support the owner’s chart, removing friction you can avoid.
Should I change my existing business name?
Not always. A small spelling change is often enough to bring a name number in line, keeping the brand recognisable. A numerologist can check the options against your chart.
What is a good date to start a business?
A date whose numbers are friendly to the owner’s Driver and Conductor numbers and fall in a favourable personal year. A numerologist can shortlist dates for you.
