What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a home-based administrative professional who performs a wide range of business services for one or more clients without setting foot in the client's office. By utilizing today's technology, Virtual Assistants are able to provide administrative support to businesses all over the world.

Features and Benefits of Using a VA

• VAs have the qualifications to get the job done. There is no need to spend valuable time in the screening, hiring and training processes.
• VAs complete all work in their own, home-based offices. There is no need to provide office space in your office for an additional employee.
• VAs have fully equipped offices with all of the necessary equipment.
• VAs are just a phone call or email away. You have access to professional office support when you need it.
• VAs handle all of their own expenses. There is no need for you to worry about deductions, benefits, vacations or loss of hours due to sick time.
• VAs only bill for time spent on projects. You need not worry about paying for idle, non-productive hours.
• VAs take overflow work off your desk. Outsourcing some of your busy work or projects to a VA gives you more time to concentrate on more important tasks, such as attracting new clients and generating revenue.
• VAs partner with their clients, learn about their business and provide the professional support that is needed in order to succeed. You, in turn, meet and exceed the needs and expectations of your customers.
