Virtual Assistant Services

What is a Virtual Assistant?

Although office assistance in the form of an administrative, executive, office or personal assistant has long been established, the Virtual Assistant is a relatively new concept.

An assistant is traditionally a hired employee, with their own office space, equipment and furniture within a company office suite. They are paid an hourly wage or a monthly salary as well as any employee benefits the company has to offer. The company must also pay vacation pay and employee taxes on their behalf.

The Virtual Assistant or VA does not work inside the company office suite or need the company to supply office equipment, furniture or space for them. They work from their own office (often in their own home) with their own equipment and furniture. Since the VA is a sub-contractor, there are no employee benefit packages, vacation pay, or employee tax obligations required on the part of a company contracting their services.

The True Cost of An Employee

Many offices already have and use the equipment necessary to communicate effectively with and utilize the services of a VA - telephone, fax machine, e-mail, on-line messaging, and courier services. Many of these have been in use in all offices for decades so there's no special training required by existing office staff in order to contact and contract to a VA.

It has become a very popular and efficient way to keep the business operating smoothly for the small or home-based business sector as well as a viable option for corporations wanting to down-size their operations to lower their operating costs.

Businesses of every size can contract out to a VA. We find that small and home-based businesses sometimes require extra help but, in many cases, are not in a position to hire a regular full-time employee. They can, however, contract out to a VA and receive quality assistance at a fraction of the cost of hiring an employee.

Top 7 Benefits of a Virtual Assistant

1. Cost Effective

Cost-cutting may not be the only reason to utilize a virtual assistant, but its certainly a major factor. Virtual assistant services convert fixed costs into variable costs, releasing capital for investment elsewhere in your business thus avoiding large expenditures especially in the early stages of your business.

2. Increased Efficiency

Companies that do everything themselves have much overhead costs. A virtual assistant solution can provide a cost structure and economy of scale to give your firm an important competitive advantage.

3. Qualified Help

Hiring and training staff for short-term can be very expensive and temporary employees dont always live up to your expectations. Virtual assistants are highly skilled professionals that let you focus your human resources where you need them most.

4. Complete Projects Quickly

A good virtual assistant company has the right resources to start a project right away. Handling the same project in-house might involve weeks or months to hire the right people, train them and provide the support they need.

5. Focus on Your Core Business

Every business has limited resources, and every manager has limited time and bandwidth. Virtual assistant services can help your business to shift its focus from nonessential activities to more essential work that serves the customer and can free up time for managers to set priorities with more clarity.

6. Level the Playing Field

Most small firms simply cant afford to match the in-house office support services that larger companies maintain. Virtual assistant services can help small firms act "big" by giving them access to the same economies of scale, efficiency, and expertise that large companies enjoy.

7. Reduce Risk

Every business investment carries a certain amount of risk. Markets, competition, government regulations, financial conditions, and technologies all change very quickly. Professional virtual assistant providers assume and manage this risk for you, and they generally are much better at deciding how to avoid risk in their areas of expertise.
