Lotus PA virtual assistant benefits

What is a VA?

Definition:
A Virtual Secretary or Virtual Assistant is a self-employed professional providing office support to businesses remotely via email, telephone, fax or post.

Virtual Assistants are not temps or employees but freelance contractors who cater to the needs of the individual, small business or large corporation. Virtual Assistants are professional partners, operating from fully equipped offices, who can provide support on one-off projects or on a long term basis. Almost every task that can be accomplished in an office can be completed virtually. A Virtual Assistant provides the same level of support as an in-house PA would for your business.

You need Lotus PA for example when you:

• Require PA/admin support but you don't need a permanent arrangement.
• Are a frequent traveller and you need a PA to arrange business trips, carry out a range of admin duties and potentially be available outside the realm of normal office hours.
• You are a business owner who doesn't have the resources to employ PA/admin staff but you still require admin assistance such as typing, filing, organising events, payroll or book-keeping.
• You are a new business start-up who cannot afford permanent PA/admin support but you still need to portray a professional image in the business arena.
• Have an employee on long term sick or on maternity leave and you don't want to employ a series of temps.
• Don't want to be paying for someone to sit around during less busy times in the workplace and want a flexible, cost effective service that you can tap into when you and your business needs it most.
