What can a VA do for you?

Updated: Mar 6


If you haven't worked with a Virtual Assistant (VA) before it can seem a bit of a minefield.. The breadth of experience VAs have is so diverse that you can probably find a VA to do most things for you. In essence, a VA is an assistant who supports you with various tasks over the internet, giving you space to focus on goals and strategies to push your business forward. Their goal is to help you be more productive, saving you money and time.


Still not sure? Here are some examples common ideas to get you started:

You may find one VA who covers all of your needs, or you may prefer to work with several VAs who each specialise in their own areas of expertise - either way, there is a VA out there who can do what you need.


Furthermore, whilst you should have a rough idea of what you need at the start of your journey, you don't need to have it all mapped out straight away. Most VAs will offer you a free consultation or discovery call to talk about your requirements and will be able to identify areas they can support you.


Finally, if there's something you need that's not on the list above, or that you're not sure about, don't be afraid to ask!
