Virtual Assistants Growing Industry

The role of the Administrative Professional has changed substantially in the last few years thanks to the introduction of the Internet. Small businesses or entrepreneurs no longer need to deal with the expense, space and human resource issues of having an in-office assistant. With a Virtual Assistant, you reduce overhead and increase productivity because a VA works for someone when they require it. And, because a Virtual Assistant is an experienced professional, there isn't any time spent on training, so business owners have more time for their clients.

As recently featured in Business Week and Time Magazine, Virtual Assistants (VAs) are home-based entrepreneurs—work-at-home moms and dads, retirees, military and Foreign Service spouses, people with disabilities, homeschoolers, and aging boomers sick of the rat race—who are running their own shows from spare rooms and basements, offering business support services to other small businesses via email, phone and fax. It's one of the most explosive industries of our time, with entrepreneurs helping other entrepreneurs around the globe—an incredible symbiosis! And it’s all brought together by the Internet.
