VAs aren't employees, so you eliminate the need to pay employment taxes,
provide vacation and sick time or insurance, find office space, buy office
equipment and software licenses, and pay for employee breaks.
VAs are in business to serve their clients; therefore, you can be assured
that your projects will receive their full attention and concentration.
VAs are professionals and work with clients as partners. You can depend
on them to work independently without supervision and perform their work
with high standards for quality and accuracy.
VAs come with experience and training. They seek out their own continuing
education to improve their skills and increase their profitability, and are
duty-bound to accept only those assignments for which they are qualified to
complete.
VAs are entrepreneurs, so they know how to operate a business. They
understand the challenges you face in the business world and can help you
overcome them.
VAs are available when you need them, and not "on the clock" when you
don't. Most of them accept assignments on a per project basis so you are not
paying for their time if they are not working on your project.
