Top benefits of a Virtual Assistant

• Save Time: Delegate tasks like scheduling, emails, data entry and research.

• Boost Productivity: Focus on high value work while your VA handles the rest.

• Cost-effective: Pay only for the time or tasks you need - no overheads, no full-time salaries.

• 24/7 Availability: Get support across time zones to keep your business running round the clock.

• Scalable Support: As your business grows, your VA can grow with you.

• Improved work-life balance: Free up your time to focus on what truly matters - personally and professionally.

Cost savings for you

Bear in mind that having a VA isn't the same as having an employee - we often save you money because we only charge for the work completed.
You will pay extra for an employee including:
• Desk space/office rental
• Supply of phones, equipment, subscriptions, line rental, heating, lighting etc.
• Dead time like coffee breaks, waiting for work to come in, internet usage etc.
• National Insurance contributions
• Running PAYE payroll for them
• Employer pension contributions
So, cost wise, a 20 hour on-site employee job might equate to 10 hours of VA work because it's not paying for set up, downtime, printer jams, coffee breaks etc. Plus you usually aren't limited to a specific time slot, the VA does the work when you need it done.

What should you outsource?

The best tasks to outsource are those which will save you most time and which are repeatable - tasks which you do daily, weekly, monthly. Brief the VA once and they will repeat on a schedule for you. Also - the jobs you put off doing and really hate doing
- VAs love the "administrivia" of running businesses. Admin is what we love, we're professionals. On that note, another one you may want to outsource: jobs that you don't have great skills in. Business owners are brilliant at what they do, but doing the admin isn't something they dream of when starting up! Get a specialist in - VAs offer a wide variety of marketing, social media, design and website updating skills.
