A Virtual Assistant is a self-employed, freelance administrator who works remotely.
A Virtual Assistant can support small business owners by completing various administration tasks to promote efficiency and growth within their business. Allowing the Business Owner more time for strategic planning whilst the fundamental tasks are completed by a Virtual Assistant.
What can a Virtual Assistant do for you?
A Virtual Assistant can assist with the day to day running of your business by providing online administration support.
The tasks could include overseeing your emails – responding to all queries in a timely manner, following up emails, chasing up quotes, sending invoices or planning your diary for meetings etc. as required.
Other tasks can include research, producing and streamlining administration processes, managing your social media accounts, PA duties or ensuring a high level of customer service is provided and maintained.
There are numerous administration tasks that can be delegated to a Virtual Assistant to enable you to concentrate on the bigger picture and expand your business.
Why hire a Virtual Assistant instead of employing someone?
You can hire a Virtual Assistant on a temporary basis, whether required for any ad-hoc work or to be utilised for so many hours a week/month on a retainer package, dependant on your business needs. Whereas an employee is a permanent fixture to your business and you will have to pay for holidays / sickness and pension contributions etc.
A Virtual Assistant is paid by the hour and will wholly dedicate that time to working for you and will provide proof of their work to justify what you are actually being invoiced for.
An employee will require a place of work, induction and HR Management, whilst a Virtual Assistant will work from home, have all of their own I.T equipment, relevant insurances and work to a dedicated plan/brief as discussed and confirmed during initial discovery call and will only be paid for the work undertaken.
As a Virtual Assistant I can streamline your business and help you find the extra time and capacity for all of those important things in your life.
