A study indicates that having a VA as a full time employee can save a business up to 78 percent in operating costs. Hiring an inhouse resource, and then training them to take care of your administration tasks is not only time consuming, but it comes with a lot of additional costs too. Virtual Assistants, however, provide remote assistance and do not use the client’s resources such as internet bandwidth. Moreover, you don’t have to worry about giving them a notice, or paying the severance fee, if you no longer need their services.
