Business administration

Cost-effective business administration to keep work running smoothly

A VA is a virtual assistant – an admin assistant who keeps your business running smoothly. VAs supply a range of business support including call answering, diary management, customer service, online event management and more.

As with all our services, our admin support is completely flexible. You’ll also have peace of mind that all your processes are up-to-date, leaving you to get on with running your business.

The Get Ahead difference

Business administration is the category most people picture when they think “virtual assistant,” which is exactly why the match matters so much here: the right VA needs to fit how you actually work, not just tick off a list of admin tasks. Your Regional Director gets to know both your business and the Virtual Experts available, so the person you’re matched with suits your working style and personality, not just their CV.

We’ve been earning trust with clients since 2010, and for admin support in particular, that trust is built day to day, in inboxes managed properly, diaries kept accurate, and processes that quietly stay on top of things without you having to check. There’s no fixed retainer and no restrictive contract: support flexes from occasional help with a single project through to a dedicated VA working alongside you every week, so you get exactly the level of admin support your business needs.

Business development

VA support can represent a small investment that makes a huge difference to your business. You can outsource any aspect of administration to a VA, freeing up your own time and headspace for the areas of your business that make it unique.

Your virtual assistant can work on one-off projects like setting up a new system, or provide ongoing support. We offer a flexible service so you can have as much or as little support as you need. Increase your VA’s hours during busy periods, or dial them back if the situation changes. Alternatively, you can choose a set amount of support each month to help you stay on budget.

Your VA can work closely with you or stay behind the scenes – the choice is yours. Even if you employee people, you might find it’s helpful to have an assistant who isn’t on the payroll. A VA’s objectivity and professional distance may help you make braver moves to grow your business. 

A well-run back office is the foundation of a successful business. With a virtual assistant to support you, you’ll always be able to find your records, manage your time commitments and show your clients the professionalism they expect.
