Virtual Assistant vs Employee

One of the struggles business owners may face when expanding, is the decision on whether to hire an in-house employee/assistant or a Virtual Assistant. 

Every business is different and has different requirements. Depending on your specific needs, you need to make the decision that best suits you and your business! 

Below are some reasons why a Virtual Assistant is sometimes the best option, over an in-house employee:

Save on overheads

Your VA is responsible for all of their own overheads such as systems and equipment, whereas an employee comes with additional expenses including holiday pay, taxes and office equipment. 

Only pay for the hours you need

You can work with your VA to create a contract that is suited to your specific needs and on a short term basis, if that works better for you. This gives business owners more flexibility as a lower risk. 

Creativity Boost

VAs work with multiple clients and therefore are constantly inspired and creative, bringing new ideas and a fresh pair of eyes to your business. 

Skillset

Virtual Assistants offer a wide range of skills. They’re always learning and love to gain experience along the way in a variety of areas.
