A Virtual Assistant (typically abbreviated to VA, also called a virtual office assistant) is an entrepreneur who provides professional administrative, technical, or creative (social) assistance to clients from a home office. With a full range of options to choose from, you can customize your remote receptionist service to meet your exact needs. Your calls can be screened, announced and seamlessly connected to you or your employees anywhere. They usually work for other small businesses, brokers and consultancy groups.

For the client, working virtually is especially powerful for many reasons:

1. Giving work away that doesn't need his/her attention gives back time and space for an abundance of other things, which may include:

* Growing a business
* Doing just the work he/she loves
* Spending more time with family and friends
* Seeking other opportunities or being able to take advantage of those already aware of
* More life balance

2. No need to share space in a home-office, or find additional office space for an employee

3. No need to buy additional equipment

4. No need to deal with the managing of an employee

5. No need to deal with the administration details associated with payroll

6. No need to pay associated payroll taxes, insurance, and possibly benefits

7. No need to adhere to Federal and State mandates, like OSHA, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act

8. No need to pay someone else to administer all of the above, so that he/she isn't further bogged down.

9. Gets to interact with another business owner (the VA!!) who isn't simply task oriented, but instead, wants to help find great solutions to challenges and the best ways to really go for opportunities.

You can see that there are powerful reasons for a client to consider working with a VA!
