Virtual Assistants are self-employed professionals running their own business who perform a wide range of office functions for one or more clients. Working 'virtually' offsets the cost of providing additional office space, full-time staff and benefit payments.

Virtual Assistants have the ability to work confidentially and independently away from the normal office environment and provide tailored services to large or small businesses and especially to entrepreneurs who travel frequently and are too busy for the day-to-day running of their business and personal lives.
