If you’ve never hired a Virtual Assistant before, you may be wondering, ‘How can a Virtual Assistant help me?’ That’s a completely understandable question and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. After all, your business is your livelihood and a unique combination of your passion and skill! In this blog, I’ll be reflecting on my experiences in over 12 years as owner of VA Agency, offering you first-hand insights into the work of Virtual Assistants and how they have helped our clients significantly.
Virtual Assistants can bring a wide range of skills to the table. If you’re looking for Virtual Assistant help, there’s a good chance you already know that you need help, you’re just not sure what tasks you can outsource and if it’s a worthwhile investment for your business.
The good news is, since Virtual Assistants have a wealth of skills, the tasks you can outsource are also wide and varied.

Here’s some examples of the work VA Agency’s Virtual Assistants are currently involved in to help our clients’ businesses grow:
Carrying out essential research
Research is something all businesses carry out. Whether that research is competitor research, vetting potential new staff, compiling client feedback or analysing business statistics, a Virtual Assistant can make research a breeze. The results they return can help you shape future campaigns and promotions, taking your business on a clearer path to business growth.
Helping your business become more professional
Whether you’re a sole trader or a Limited Company, you need to be seen as professional at all times. Having a Virtual Assistant managing your calls, liaising with customers and creating presentations and reports will help give your business that professional touch.
Getting you visible and active on social media
Any business that wants to seriously grow, needs to have an online presence. But that takes time – something you don’t have a lot of, but your Virtual Assistant does. Managing your social media profiles, scheduling content, interacting with comments and messages, finding content to share and posting updates and blogs are all things your Virtual Assistant can handle. This not only keeps them off your to-do list, but it also helps ensure your business is visible, active and managed well online.
Improving productivity in your business
A Virtual Assistant can help implement systems and processes in your business. Things like procedure manuals, checklists and templates, as well as automated sales and marketing funnels all help to streamline your business. Productivity will rise, consistency will be achieved, and financial rewards are sure to follow as a result.
Helping you be more organised and less stressed
No matter how good you are at managing your own time, there’s always room for improvement. But handing over administrative tasks to your Virtual Assistant isn’t just about improving how they’re managed – it’s also about alleviating some of your stress!
Diary and calendar management, a busy inbox, constant meetings with no breathing room, shifting and rescheduled appointments all add to your stress levels. A Virtual Assistant can take over those tasks, so you’re free to focus on other things – or even have much needed time out from it all.
Your business is your livelihood and you need it to do well. But having a Virtual Assistant onboard gives you the freedom and the time to do things better. You gain access to a wealth of skills, designed to help you and your business grow. You also gain a remote worker who is just as invested in your business success as you are – and someone who can help you achieve that level of success you want as well. So, ‘How can a Virtual Assistant help your business?’ Looking at the work our team of UK Virtual Assistants are involved in with our clients, the answer is: ‘In so many different ways!’
