FAQs
Who works with Virtual Assistants?
Virtual Assistants work with a variety of successful people: authors, sales people, entrepreneurs, coaches, executives, small business owners, students, and anyone who wants a project done professionally.
I run the business myself. Why do I need a Virtual Assistant?
As your business grows, you will find that you need a little help getting everything done, but you may not have the need for a regular employee. A Virtual Assistant can step in and help with the work that has to get done, but takes time away from building your business, like bookkeeping, invoicing, filing taxes, and correspondence. It also gives you more time to spend with your family and friends.
What are the benefits of working with a Virtual Assistant?
There are many benefits to working with a Virtual Assistant. Instead of hiring an employee, you get a partner, an advisor and an outside perspective. As opposed to Temp agencies, who will send you any available person, and you have to keep them for the day or week, working with a Virtual Assistant gives you the flexibility to use only the services needed, but you have the same person working with you on every project, so you don't need to explain your needs to a new person each time you need work done.
Some other benefits include:
- No need to find space in the office for another person
- No need to purchase new equipment
- No extra employment costs:
- Payroll taxes (Social Security, Medicare and Unemployment)
- Benefits (Insurance)
- Leave time (Vacation, Holiday, or Sick time)
- Worker's Compensation Insurance Rates (They are often based on payroll and employee counts)
- No need to pay for downtime (coffee breaks, internet surfing, watercooler chats)
- No need to train an employee on basic skills
- No guilt for not giving an employee enough hours
What will your services cost?
Services will be charged either on an hourly basis or on a per project basis. It depends on the project. There are also retainer plans for regular, recurring clients so that time will be set aside for your work. You can purchase the number of hours you will need and additional hours will be billed to you.
