What is an alternative domain name for my company; without losing our brand recognition?
My company is B & S Industries. I am creating a website for my consulting company, and I need input on domain names. We already have brand recognition for the name, and I want to preserve that. I am not allowed to use the symbol "&" in the domain name. I don't like "bandsindustries".

Spell out whatever it is that B and S stand for. And for that matter, avoid shortening it to BSI everywhere - business cards, logo, advertising...From a branding perspective, initials are categorically the least memorable and least evocative type of name. They don't mean anything to anyone. Of all the categories of name types we develop for a brand, initials come dead last. A quick search on acronym finder gave me 120 companies with the name BSI. For that reason, you will never really own it outright and will forever battle them all for Google recognition. http://www.acronymfinder.com/BSI.html

You can reverse it (e.g. industriesbands) or use dashes industries-b-and-s or use word "plus" (e.g. bplussindustries) but, in my opinion, you need to avoid using just "bs"
another option is bnsindustries or b-n-s_industries

I might use that in Mexico for example where the noun frequently is placed before the modifier. Thank you.

I think there is no need worry too much about this. As far as the url is concerned no one knows your url. Its going to be new. So just go far whatever url seems good to you. Important thing is how your website logo and content represents your business. No one cares about your url. Whatever you fix as your url that is going to be official.
You can have "bnsindustries" but use your existing logo in the website.

I would say, somehow people care. Not completely on the name,and meaning, but more on how it is written. Getting a domain that is too competitive, or complicated enough that can be typed in so many ways, in where misspellings send you to another website is sometimes counterproductive. What happens is that good competitors will use those domains ideas to get links that forward visitors or potentials to their websites. And if their SEO is done so much better than yours, there are chances to lose market.
Make a list of domain names and search their availability with you domain provider. And even try typing those domains in the browser or search engine and see what it came up with. Keep your branding and vision yes, but be wary on your differentiators and people abilities to catch your name quickly.
Success to you!

To add to the answers already provided:
1. I would avoid using a hyphen in the domain name since it's easy for people typing in your company domain to forget to include the hyphen character.
2. I would stick with a .com domain even if means sacrificing a more meaningful domain name. For example, if the "perfect" domain name was only available with a .us, .biz or other TLD I wouldn't use any of these non-.com TLDs since they are not as professional and they're also harder for people to remember.
3. You could try bsind.com

Isn't this too generic? Can you also tell little more about what your company does? And what B&S stands for?

I may go with something that describes the business, say, "leanconsulting" or other. Thanks for your input.

Consider going with a name for your domain that reflects the kind of work you do. For example, while I do own servitiumpartners.com, I also use the domain csuccesshacker.com (my twitter ID is csuccesshacker) which also resolves to my website as well.
