Really? Yes they cost money, but outsourcing work to a Virtual Assistant can save up to 78% in operating costs compared to hiring a full-time employee:

Firstly, there are no employee overheads. With a VA, you don’t pay for:

– Holiday or sick pay
– Pension contributions
– Health insurance or other benefits
– Payroll taxes or National Insurance contributions

Secondly, they don’t require equipment or office space – Virtual Assistants work remotely and use their own laptop, software, and office space. That means no need to invest in tech or furniture.

Thirdly, (and this is a biggie, you only pay only for productive time. VAs track their hours and only work on the tasks you assign them, so you’re not paying for downtime, breaks, or watercooler chats.

And lastly, it is a flexible commitment.  In today’s world that is a huge plus – no long-term contracts or hiring commitments, you can scale the hours up or down depending on your needs, meaning that hiring a Virtual Assistant is perfect for project-based or part-time support.

In short: you get expert support without the full-time price tag — and more time to focus on what actually grows your business.
