What’s So Good About Virtual Assistants

Utilising a Virtual Assistant is a great way for small business owners to organise themselves and expand their businesses without taking on an employee. Hiring a VA eliminates the need to train, or insure expenses such as employee tax, equipment, holiday leave and sick pay.

Virtual Assistants can support business owners in multiply areas such as: 

  • Dealing with daily administration
  • Marketing assistance
  • Taking or making telephone calls
  • Chasing late payments
  • Sort and deal with emails
  • Manage your diary
  • Handle paperwork, bills, expenses and invoices
  • Meeting and travel arrangements
  • Source and order services and supplies
  • Write and send proposals, contracts and invoices
  • Prepare and send direct mail

Just about any business in any type of industry can benefit from the services a Virtual Assistant provides.  Whether your business is web based or traditional, Virtual Assistants can offer fantastic value with incredible results.  Any size business can increase their manpower without increasing the payroll budget.  It’s easy to enjoy the perks that come with a full time employee without having to worry about paying taxes or health benefits, or pay for smoke breaks and vacation.  You may be asking yourself, “How do I know they will do the work?”  Virtual Assistants depend on steady clients and referrals to keep their businesses thriving, this ensures that you will receive the same loyalty that you would receive with an in house employee.  Their business depends on it.  With a Virtual Assistant there is no need for temporary employees or outsourcing because we are always available to provide services to our clients at a reasonable cost.

Virtual Assistants provide services in several different ways to meet each client’s individual needs.  You can pay by project or by the hour.  Most VA’s charge in 15 minute increments which means you are only paying for the exact amount of time you use.  You may even find discounts by committing to a certain number of hours per week or month.  Have you ever been able to do that with a regular full time employee?  Qualified Virtual Assistants have usually worked in a high level administrative position and are well equipped to deal with the tasks of a fast paced environment.  When you use a Virtual Assistant you are truly using a complete professional at what they do.  What can a Virtual Assistant do for you?

Emerald Resources Virtual PA was created up by me in 2010, with the objective to provide a wide range of affordable office support services to businesses and individuals. After working for 6 years in Sydney for a leading publishing house, I returned to the Events and Marketing Industry in England, working for a prestigious private school and as a Marketing Manager for a leading legal information provider. Now settled in Bath after having my first child, I am now focusing on my new venture, Emerald Resources, and am proud to offer a professional, cost effective solution for SME’s looking for office support. In addition to PA and secretarial tasks, Emerald Resources can also provide clients with a wide range of more technical skills such as proficiency with Excel, graphic design and well-honed marketing and research services. Emerald Resources offer a personal approach, only enlisting a few clients at a time on their books, ensuring a reliable and fully focused, freelance assistance.
