Plan Your Business Growth with a VA

If you are thinking to hire an assistant for your business, congratulations, you have risen to the next level of success and are thinking about growth. When a business person feels he is earning enough and can afford to hire an assistant, there are certain points to consider. Taking the bold step of hiring an assistant and then failing to afford him can be the worst experience for the boss and the employee. Hiring an assistant can possibly make your busy life turn into an enjoyable life. You get all the time to meet friends, go on family reunions and also you get the evenings off for a good nap and get rid of all the aches that have resulted due to a busy morning. 

But one thing is for sure, with today’s highly advanced technology and the availability of internet within every one’s pocket, hiring a virtual office assistant is an open option for every business person. Choosing to hire a VA than an office assistant has it perks that are unmatched. There are many reasons why one should think of hiring a VA first and then about an office assistant. First of all, with a VA, the whole world is your recruiting ground. Since talent has no race, religion or country, you can choose the right person from anywhere. As long as you are connected to the internet, distance does not matter. If you want to have a voice chat, feel free to use Skype. And if you need to see the face of your VA, again you have the free service of Skype to let you chat in video.

The second greatest option you get with a VA is that you get to set your own rules. If you want your assistant to be available at the hours that are not normal to work such as night or late night, ask if the VA would be willing to work at those hours. Hopefully most of the VA’s are willing so that means that you get a lot of candidates available to work at the hours that do not suit an office assistant. The third and not the final one, but let’s conclude at this point is the difference in the salary of an office assistant and a virtual office assistant. The VA would only take a fee for the services that does not include any taxes. So all you have to pay is the fee whereas you have to pay a huge stash of taxes on your employee’s salary. Ultimately, this is the reason why everyone should be hiring a VA when he is thinking about growth of the business.
