What is a Virtual Assistant?

In essence, a VA is an independent worker who can assist you with all things admin but working remotely, and are increasingly seen as the smarter way to work in the modern business world.

Similar to an office assistant or PA, a VA allows you to spend less time doing paperwork and more time generating new business at a fraction of the cost of a regular member of staff. Who doesn’t want to be more profitable!

With advancements in technology, the barriers of geographical location have been broken down giving businesses better scope for engaging the right professional for their team.

What Are The Benefits of a Virtual Assistant?

Virtual Assistants have grown in popularity for businesses in recent years and are increasingly seen as the smarter way to work.

Having a VA has provided entrepreneurs, small businesses and companies the time to chase leads and work on their higher yielding activities as their administrative work has been covered by a virtual workforce.

Whether it is on an ad-hoc basis, or more regularly (i.e. 4 hours per week), Virtual Assistants are the most flexible and cost effective way to free up valuable time to focus on your business and ultimately, increase your revenue.

Outsourcing your administration tasks means that there are no employment costs to take in to account and no lengthy recruitment process. Holiday entitlement, Tax, National Insurance, pension contributions, maternity/paternity leave and sickness, are removed from your Employer’s responsibility, as you only pay for the work done or hours completed.

With no overheads to pay for, you simply agree the work that needs to be carried out, set up a work agreement and pay for the hours worked. It’s that simple.
