How a VA can help you?

A Virtual Assistant or VA is the modern equivalent of a Personal Assistant (PA). Traditionally, a PA would provide secretarial services to a business while being an employee of that business. A VA, on the other hand, can provide the same services but remotely from their own office.

Using a VA allows you to outsource many of your administration tasks. This is particularly useful for small businesses which may not need a full time PA. However, a VA's usefulness is not limited to small businesses. Multi–million pound turnover businesses can find the use of a VA equally effective, for example by offering support for a particular project or providing a skill not available from their permanent staff.

The advantages of using a VA include:

• Providing secretarial support to a growing business without the need to hire someone full time. The client only pays for the work done.
• The client does not have to pay tax and national insurance for a VA's services.
• No additional costs associated with employees, such as office space, equipment, training and temping agency fees.
• A cost effective way to obtain additional support to complete a project to a tight deadline.
• A VA can often offer skills outside of those available from a client's employed staff.

The requirements of a business for using virtual support vary, however, they all share the need to be efficient, cost effective and professional.

It is clear that there are many situations where a VA can provide cost effective support to your business. If you need more convincing or need to discuss a project please contact us. In addition, our faqs section has further pointers as to how a VA may benefit your business.
