and provides professional administrative,
technical, or creative assistance to clients
remotely from a home office.
3. •Those people or employee who work from
home called VA (Virtual Assistant) because
VIRTUAL is in the internet and ASSISTANT
means assisting company. VA is not
assistant like PA (Personal Assistant)

describing a person who assists a specific
person with their daily business or personal
4. REASONS TO HIRE A VIRTUAL
ASSISTANT
•1. Lower your cost of doing business
•The number one reason why businesses hire
virtual assistants is to lower their costs. It
has been estimated that hiring a Virtual
Assistant over a Full-Time Employee or (FTE)
will save you 78% in operating costs per year.
5. •Why? Because virtual assistants are self-
employed; they own their own enterprise
which is the virtual assistance business. This
means they are accountable for all of the
expenses they incur in the conduct of their
services.
6. •When you hire a Virtual Assistant, you don’t
pay additional benefits, allocate rental space
for work, subscribe to higher Internet
bandwidth or incur incremental expenses in
utilities.
7. 2. INCREASE YOUR LEVEL OF
PRODUCTIVITY
•Hiring a Virtual Assistant is a double-edged
sword in achieving profitability because not
only does the strategy lower business cost but
it also increases productivity.

efficiency because you get more work
done in less time and cost. 87.7% of
virtual assistants are paid on a productive
hour basis. This means they will only be

10. •By comparison, a full-time employee is paid
a fixed rate per hour per day as mandated
by law. This means that in a typical 8-hour
work shift, you will have to pay the
employee his hourly wage whether it is
productive or not. In a study by business
coach, Steve Pavlina, he revealed that the
average office worker only accounts for 90
11. •Since virtual assistants have previous work
experience, they require minimal training
time. You can get them to work right away
without having to worry much about
mistakes and common issues faced with
first-time office employees.
12. 4. ADD BUSINESS FLEXIBILITY
•Majority of people who make the transition
to the virtual assistance work do so because
of flexibility. They want to manage their own
time so they can be with their families and
attend to other aspects of their respective
lives.
13. •But the advantage of having flexibility goes
both ways. Because virtual assistants do not
follow rigidly structured work schedules, you
can designate them to manage work hours
that would be beneficial to your business.
14. •For example, if you plan to have 24-7
customer service, you can hire virtual
assistants from different parts of the world
to manage shifts throughout your workday.
The time zone differentials will work in your
favor. All customer service issues can be
effectively attended to as they come in.
15. 5. ACHIEVE BALANCE IN LIFE!
•Perhaps the only unquantifiable value of
hiring a Virtual Assistant is he or she can

•Companies still hire administrative assistants who gets a
regular payroll - even during quiet times. But VAs are often
available to work only when you need them, and they only
get paid for the work they've done. Everything you're

salaried employee to perform. And it's not just manpower
either. Why should your business pay for the latest
computers and software? Instead, by outsourcing
