Thinking about getting some help but don’t need a full-time PA? So many small business owners are turning to VAs instead – we’re usually more affordable. But why is that? Let’s break down the main reasons why VAs can be a more affordable option without sacrificing quality ⬇
➡ No Office Costs
One of the biggest savings comes from the fact that VAs work remotely. This means you’re not paying for office space, a desk, or equipment. We’ve got our own setup, so those costs aren’t passed on to you. You’re only paying for the work, not the workspace.
➡ Flexible Payments
With a traditional PA, you’re usually paying an annual salary, regardless of how much work there is. VAs, on the other hand, offer flexible options where you pay only for the hours or tasks you actually need. Which is usually WAY less than 35 hours a week (based on a 5-day a week PA).
➡ No Paid Benefits
Having a PA on your books means covering benefits like annual leave, sick pay, pension contributions, and other perks. VAs, who are independent contractors, manage their own benefits. This means fewer extra costs are passed on to you, making it a more straightforward financial commitment.
➡ Experienced and Efficient
VAs often work with multiple clients, so they’re used to managing their time efficiently and getting tasks done quickly. This means you’re paying for someone who knows what they’re doing and can get the job done without wasting time – saving you money in the long run.
So, the real reason VAs are often more affordable isn’t because we cut corners – it’s because we offer a more flexible, efficient, and cost-effective solution. With no office costs, no added benefits, and the ability to hire regionally, it’s simple to see why VAs are becoming the go-to choice. Is it what your business is missing?
