A Virtual Assistant (VA) provides support services to other businesses from a remote location often using cloud-based tools, either for a one-off project, short or long-term support. Businesses use VAs when they need support but don’t want to employ a full or part-time employee. This enables them to keep overheads low, as there is no office space or hardware required, no holiday pay, PAYE, sick pay, HR, etc. Businesses only pay for the resourcing they need when contracting a VA, making it a very cost-effective and timely option for your business.
As VAs are based remotely, they can support businesses anywhere. I am based in New Zealand but happy to support businesses all over the world. I’m used to working across different time zones.
