Frequently Asked Questions What is a Virtual Assistant (VA)? Virtual Assistants provide business support services for their clients on a contract, or as-needed basis. Since communication between a VA and their clients is done virtually (phone, fax, email, etc.), they are able to offer their services to business owners anywhere in the country.

What are the benefits of working with a VA?
Virtual Assistants can save you money by providing only the services you need, when you need them. No need to hire a full-time employee until you have a full-time workload for them.

VAs can save you time by performing those non-billable tasks that keep you from the profit-building portions of your business.

And VAs can save your sanity, by removing those tasks you dislike, and giving you time to do the work you enjoy.
