Default lookups

I am trying to compare 2 different listings to see if any in list 1 is a
client. My lookup will only return the client if the client is an exact
match. How can I make the lookup return any variation of the name

This is my normal lookup:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,'clients'!$A$1:$B$200,2,FAL SE)),0,VLOOKUP(A1,'clients'!$A$1:$B$200,2,FALSE))

Example
Sheet 1 - (Possible Client Names)

Column A
ABC Co

Sheet 2 - (our client names)

Column A Col B
The ABC Company 1000

So I want to look up the name in sheet 1 and return the possible match from
sheet 2.

Thanks
