Virtual Assistants are taking on those time-consuming administrative chores and special projects, and giving business owners more breathing room to grow, succeed and fall in love with their business again.--------------------
Time. As a small business owner, it's commodity you covet most but never seem to have enough of. If you had more time, you could complete all administrative chores required to operate your business.
With enough time, you could do more marketing, more networking, more planning and systemizing.
If you had just a little more, you'd be a whole lot less hurried and stressed. But how on earth do you create more time to do all things necessary to run smoothly, build business, and create revenue? The obvious answer is to increase your manpower. But hiring staff is not always an easy or affordable proposition for small business owner. Fortunately, there's an outsourcing alternative - Virtual Assistance.
Virtual Assistants provide office support on an independent contractor basis. They primarily serve small to mid-sized businesses who have smaller workloads, need only occasional help, or who don't have budget or space for in-house office staff, much less time to train and manage them. A Virtual Assistant (VA) works from their own fully-equipped office utilizing computers and other technology to deliver their services and communicate with clients.
They provide just about any secretarial service you can think of: word processing, transcription, data-entry, database management, spreadsheet creation, proofreading – you name it.
Many VAs offer additional specialties such as bookkeeping, web design, desktop publishing, writing and legal support services.
The savings can be huge compared to cost of an actual employee because there are no payroll taxes or benefits to pay, and no extra office space or equipment needs.
