Most small business owners, solo entrepreneurs, and busy people could benefit from hiring a virtual assistant. It allows them to delegate tasks they don’t have time for or aren’t particularly good at to someone who enjoys and excels at those kinds of tasks. This frees them up to run and grow their business by focusing on higher-priority tasks. Some other benefits of hiring a virtual assistant include:
- Businesses don’t have to pay to hire a full-time admin
- Business owners can decide how many hours of support they need and only pay for that time.
- Virtual Assistants don’t require office space
- Virtual Assistants are responsible for their own taxes, retirement, and healthcare
- The cost of a virtual assistant can usually be deducted as a business expense.
