There’s no denying that the workplace has evolved over recent years, especially post pandemic. Outsourcing was previously used mainly in large corporations however recently people have identified that everyone deserves an extra pair of hands, be it entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, or SMEs.

If you are not sure what to outsource, then the best thing to do is write down a list of tasks. Then highlight the ones only you can do in one colour and highlight those items that can be outsourced or that quite honestly, you hate doing, in another colour. This is then a good starting point of freeing up your time to focus on the actions that excite you. The many benefits of outsourcing are as follows, to name a few:

Time: Let’s be honest - no one ever has enough time. It is a precious resource, and a virtual administrator can help you gain back that time to focus on delivering your goals.

Flexibility: A virtual administrator offers great flexibility whether it is ad-hoc tasks, weekly administration or even project work, hiring a VA can help in all aspects of your business.

Cost Effective: Hiring a freelance virtual administrator is very cost effective for a business as it reduces labour costs - reduces salary, holiday pay, sick pay, medical benefits, pension schemes and car allowances. A VA or OBM is an integral part of a company but at a fraction of the cost.

Profitability: Running the admin of a company can be time consuming and not very profitable - if your time is best spent targeting new clients, tackling new goals, meeting new suppliers, then let a VA take the burden off you, to enable you to focus on growing your company’s profits.
