1. You save money by paying your VA only for the hours worked for you. 2. You are not responsible for any employee related taxes, insurances, superannuation, holiday pay, leave loading, sick pay or other benefits. 3. You concentrate on growing your business and raising your bottom line, while your VA is focused on the parts of your business that take up your precious time in order to give you back that time. 4. You increase productivity, have less downtime, no more breaks or extended lunch breaks to decrease office productivity. 5. Your VA is 100% scaleable. If your business has a quiet portion of the year, you are able to scale back the hours required of your VA.
