A Virtual Assistant (or VA) is a professional service provider who specializes in providing remote administrative office support services as an independent contractor who works with clients in an ongoing, collaborative professional relationship.

Virtual Assistants work from their own offices and utilize today's technology to deliver their services and communicate with clients.

A Virtual Assistant's support is foundationally administrative, secretarial and clerical in nature. However, many Virtual Assistants offer additional specialties that fall under creative and technical services.

Virtual Assistants come from a variety of business backgrounds, but the single-most important qualification to become a Virtual Assistant is at least five (5) years administrative experience earned in the real (non-virtual) business world working in upper level capacities such as administrative assistant, executive assistant, secretary, legal assistant, paralegal, legal secretary, real estate assistant, office manager, etc.

From this level of experience, a VA is expected to possess the skill sets, training and business knowledge which are the hallmark of a truly qualified Virtual Assistant.

Using a VA in your small business can prove very beneficial.

1. VA's don't require office space.
2. VA's provide their own office equipment.
3. You only pay for time that is spent on doing YOUR work. Great reduction in overhead expenses!
4. You don't have to worry about payroll taxes, insurance, paid vacations, holidays or sick days!
5. No OSHA requirements.
6. If you are unsatisfied with the work, you simply do not renew your contract. No questions asked.
7. VA's can also handle many personal needs as well. (Dr. appt's, anniversary reminders, etc.)
8. If your company relocates, you can still use the same VA - no need to train and develop new relationships. Your location doesn't affect our ability to do our job.
9. MORE time to sell and take care of clients!
10. MORE time for your family and friends!
