A Virtual Personal Assistant is an independent business owner supplying the traditional services of an employed Personal Assistant but without the liabilities of an employee, and with all the advantages and experience of a skilled professional PA.
Working independently, and only when needed, a Virtual Personal Assistant undertakes tasks important to the smooth running of a business so that the business owner can use their own time more effectively, ultimately saving them money.
Using a Virtual Personal Assistant offers many advantages to people in business, including:
Flexibility: You pay only for the hours needed. You can agree packages from ad hoc hours through to monthly retainers. If your workload increases or decreases, then hours with your Virtual Personal Assistant can be adjusted accordingly.
No employment liability: You do not need to consider the costs and liabilities of having a permanent employee. Your Virtual Personal Assistant pays for their own insurance, tax and National Insurance.
No holiday and sickness absence: You do not need to factor in payment of holiday or sickness pay.
No office costs: Your Virtual Personal Assistant works from their own office using their own equipment.
Continuity: If you are using temporary agency staff, you may not have the continuity of assistance from the same person. Your Virtual Personal Assistant is a constant source of support, with no need for re-training.
Confidante and Sounding Board: Your Virtual Personal Assistant will bring with them a wealth of skills and experience that may be missing from a business and can act as a confidante and sounding board for your ideas.
Business planning: In addition, your Virtual Personal Assistant can help you to identify, prioritise, plan and delegate tasks so that you can focus on your own strengths potentially opening up new opportunities as you gain time and resources to consider new projects.
