A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an independent entrepreneur providing administrative, creative and/or technical services. Utilizing advanced technological modes of communication and data delivery, a professional VA assists clients in his/her area of expertise from his/her own office on a contractual basis.

More and smarter business owners are making the cost-effective decision to partner with a Virtual Assistant, or a Virtual Assistant firm, to provide the administrative support services necessary to operate their businesses. In some cases, business owners choose to work with a Virtual Assistant for all of their administrative needs, while some others may choose only to outsource specific projects. Additionally, some business owners choose to use a Virtual Assistant during peak seasons, or when their in-house assistant is unavailable. Whatever the reason, a Virtual Assistant is a sensible alternative to a business owners' administrative support needs.

Virtual Assistants, though self-employed, rely on customer service to drive their business, therefore, an equal - or even greater - sense of loyalty than that of an employee is not unusual.

A Virtual Assistant can work with you regardless of whether you are around the corner or around the world; your work can still be completed in a cost-effective, efficient and timely manner. Outsourcing lets you concentrate on the more important issues of growing your business.

Using a Virtual Assistant is a cost effective alternative for any business, as there are none of the usual overheads encountered when employing staff, such as annual/sick leave, leave loading, superannuation contributions, long service, meal breaks, additional furniture, office space and office equipment.

Virtual Assistance is seen by a large number of professions as a vital ingredient to the success and growth of their businesses. However it is not for everyone. To partner successfully with a Virtual Assistant you need to:

• Be clear on delegating tasks with clear instructions

• Recognize a Virtual Assistant as a partner and not an employee
• Be available to answer questions (especially in the early days)

Not necessary. The beauty of your assistant being virtual is - - location doesn't impact our ability to do our jobs. The work is distributed via email, fax, telephone or in some cases US Postal service. The location of your business or the location of your VA has no impact on the services that are available to you. If your company relocates with different time slots - - we simply relocate with you! There will be no need to recruit, hire and train a new employee. This can be a great cost saving benefit to you or your company!

The amazing part of virtual assistance is that almost everyone can benefit from using a VA. A large company may find using a VA for any overflow work to be useful or maybe instead of 3 secretaries they may need to only employ 1 or 2 and have a VA do the rest. A small company may use a VA for all of their billings, collections, marketing, accounting, etc. needs. A busy individual may use a VA to help them plan a special event. This may include, for example, everything from booking the room, ordering the food, coordinating travel, creating invitations, etc. A college student may use a VA to type their 25 page research paper. VAs are typically very skilled typists. This may prove to be a great time saver for a busy college student who doesn't possess great typing skills or speed. A startup entrepreneur can use a VA to get a list of potential contacts, internet research, etc...
