What is a virtual assistant?

Virtual assistants are self-employed people who usually work from a home based office and handle administrative tasks for other businesses. 

Why use a VA?

- Business has increased but not enough to employ a permanent member of staff

- Cover for holidays and sickness

- Gain additional support for busy periods

- Need a project managed


What are the benefits?

- Strictly confidential service

- VA's are self-employed, so no salary commitments

- You are not responsible for sick pay, tax, national insurance or pension contributions

- You only pay for the hours worked for your business

- You do not need to provide a workspace or equipment

- Assistance from the same person again and again, which creates familiarity with your business and reduces the learning curve for new projects.
