Professional support with your day-to-day business tasks are vital to keep your bottom line intact and your business goals at the top of your priority list.
If you haven't thought about hiring a virtual assistant, here are 7 advantages that could benefit you and your business.
Reduce Your Hiring Process Costs: Hiring a new employee can bring operational costs such as management, training time, recruitment time - putting together the advert, releasing the advert, waiting for resumes, going through resumes, interviews, contracts... You can cut down on these time-consuming activities and focus on your core business goals by finding someone who can work on your projects and tasks as soon as possible. Just think about the cost savings!
Reduce Your Workload: The average entrepreneur, business owner or executive needs to have their head in many places to be able to focus on driving their own business strategy while making sure that their bottom line is thriving. You need people with a number of skills to help you with your business growth. Having someone who can help with administrative tasks, marketing tasks, and implement business solutions can really put your business ahead of the competition. Reduce the internal pressures of your business growth, by getting assistance with the tasks that can slow your efficiency, productivity, and time management. Outsource some of your business tasks to benefit your ability to focus on your priority goals.
Tax Benefits: The cost of hiring a virtual assistant is generally considered a deductible business expense, as they’re usually classed as a contractor. This means you can subtract the amount you pay your virtual assistant from your business income when calculating your taxable income. By reducing your taxable income, you can potentially lower your overall tax liability.
Cost Savings: Hiring a virtual assistant is often more cost-effective than hiring a full-time employee. Virtual assistants typically work on a contractual basis, so you can avoid expenses like office space and equipment. You only pay for the hours worked or the services provided. You are not required to provide employee benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, or other benefits.
Reduced Operational Costs: Over the past few years, businesses have realised that there are many daily operations that don't need to be office based in order to function. SME's, business owners and entrepreneurs have been able to utilize an opportunity, a change in work culture to help grow their businesses without bringing on full-time employees. Plus that reduction in additional stress, financial pressures can take the edge off while you’re growing, until you’re ready to build out your departments.
Scale With Less Risk: If your organization is growing rapidly, entering new markets, or undergoing expansion, hiring a virtual executive assistant can be beneficial. They can support you during periods of change and help manage the increased workload, ensuring smooth operations and maintaining efficiency. They can also wind down with you when you’re on slower months, working with you to manage that workflow with your bottom line.
Flexible Schedule: Virtual executive assistants often offer flexibility in terms of working hours and availability. For many businesses in today’s working culture, it’s about getting the work done for certain deadlines, not when you do it. Working with VA’s also means they can be located in different time zones.This flexibility can be especially valuable for businesses with international operations.They can handle tasks or communications during non-business hours, ensuring a smooth workflow and effective communication with international contacts.
