Benefits

Using a Virtual Assistant service allows you to outsource administrative and organisational tasks to a highly skilled team on a flexible basis.  Compared to employees (PAYE), using a VA offers a number of important benefits:

  • Flexibility - a VA is available for as much or as little time as you require. There are very few people willing to take on just 10 hours a month on an employed basis but for a VA it's no problem.
  • Control over cost - The hourly rate you pay is all you pay, there are no other employment costs such as national insurance and pension contributions. No long-term commitments, no redundancy payments, just total control.
  • Office space - as we work remotely from our Kent office, you don't even have to supply a pen or notepad, let alone a desk or computer. 

Compared to a temp via an agency, a VA is an obvious choice for:

  • Cost effectiveness -  rather than paying for the agency's profit on top of their overheads (a chain of offices, a massive payroll to maintain), by working with a Virtual Assistant you are dealing direct with specialists.
  • An ongoing relationship - the best temps are in high demand and are likely to be booked up well in advance, other temps are merely seeking work while they look for something better, either way you are unlikely to develop a long-term relationship with him or her.  At Jude Sach Virtual Assistance we pride ourselves on getting to know you and your organisation so that we can hit the ground running when you need us.
  • Not to mention the requirements for office space and lack of flexibility also associated with employed staff.
You may think that using a VA you are going to be paying consultant rates.  Not so.  We have a standard hourly rate for ad hoc work or a range of discounted rates for organisations   requiring a set minimum number of hours, starting at just 10 hours per month.  Once you tot up the costs of employing someone on an ongoing basis, even part-time, you will see that using a VA is a very cost-effective way to have extra support on hand when you need it.  Read more...
