The only limit to ambition can sometimes be time – the time, that is, to get the job done.

If you are a sole trader or run a small business you will be all too aware of the constraints of the time that you have to complete a job. No matter how hard you try it is impossible to take on more work than you can physically complete in a day, week or month.

The solution is clear – call in extra help. Yet taking on a member of staff can be a huge commitment for a small business.

Not only do you have to consider the expense to yourself but also the security of the job you are offering.

Does your business need more support?

When taking on a new member of staff you will have to invest time and effort in finding and interviewing the right person and training them, as well as buying equipment, such as a computer and additional office furniture – and covering tax implications and pension payments.

If you have made the commitment to take on a new employee in the past and, having used valuable time up to train them only for it not to work out, you may well be wary of taking on new staff.

If you are not sure how sustainable your workload is to support the investment connected with a new member of staff a solution is to outsource some of your workload to a virtual PA. 

How a virtual PA can be an alternative to taking on extra staff

For businesses looking for additional support a virtual PA offers a flexible solution.

With a wide range of administration skills they will be able to take care of time-consuming tasks that sap away your time, freeing up more time to get the actual job done.

As virtual PAs have their own equipment, office and personal insurance the cost in engaging extra help is also greatly diminished.

And, as a virtual PA can be engaged on an ad-hoc basis or a longer term contract you do not need to add extra stress by worrying about consistently having the workload to justify taking on a permanent member of staff.

Instead of struggling to fit in a heavy workload in an impossible time frame, free up part of your working week by outsourcing work to a virtual PA.

New Dawn PA can help with data management, credit control, word processing, diary management, book keeping, compiling reports, research and customer relationship management.
