Services
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a highly skilled professional that gives you all the benefits of an office based Executive Assistant, but saves you money on office space, tax, national insurance and employee benefits. A VA is a self-employed individual that will deal with all of their own taxes, expenses, office space and equipment.
VA’s can provide a diverse range of administrative, technical and business support services to businesses operating in a broad range of sectors. This support is available on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. Alternatively you can hire a VA on an ad-hoc/project basis.
How can a Virtual Assistant help you?
A VA can provide you with support remotely from their home office, but can also travel to a clients’ office (location dependent). The range of services available include, but are not limited to, anything that you would normally expect from an office based Executive Assistant, duties such as:
- Diary & email management
- Travel & itinerary planning
- Schedule meetings & events
- Handling correspondence & creating/formatting presentations
- Lifestyle management
- Research
Anyone can benefit from having a Virtual Assistant, you may be a small/home based business, non-executive director, an internet based business or a busy individual / family.
