What you get

Owner time back

Admin moved off your plate so you can sell and serve.

Faster responses

Customers and leads answered the same day.

Grows with you

Start with 10 hours a month and add more as you grow.

No hiring overhead

No recruiting, payroll or desk; a managed service handles cover.

A sensible first month

  1. List every recurring task you did last week
  2. Pick the 5 that take time but not your judgement
  3. Write a one-paragraph 'how I like it done' for each
  4. Hand them over in week one; review together weekly
  5. Add the next batch once the first runs smoothly

Who it's for

  • Owner-operators doing their own admin
  • Service businesses with lots of scheduling
  • Online stores and agencies
  • Local offices with busy phones

Questions

What does a virtual assistant do for a small business?

Typical work includes email and calendar, customer service, scheduling, bookkeeping support, social media and data entry.

How many hours does a small business need?

If you work with US customers or need same-day responses, a US or Canada-based assistant usually saves time.
