Deciding when to use a Virtual Business Support Service

Individual projects as they occur

Have you ever found yourself faced with a new project or task that could benefit from having another person to assist you, but hiring a permanent employee is not justifiable ? A need for short-term assistance from an individual with a broad spectrum of business skills has arisen.

Whether the need is for brainstorming the idea into creation or attending to the details required to bring the idea to fruition, or a combination of both, details can provide the solution. The option of utilizing a Virtual Business Support Service for the timeframe of a project may be what allows you to take on that project that you wouldn’t normally be able to do. The cost and time of hiring an employee may outweigh the benefits of the project.

Outsourcing tasks and projects to details offers a number of benefits to you as a small business owner.Below is a short list of the most common advantages. However, the benefits you receive will be unique to your situation:

• Eliminates the administration of and the expense associated with having employees (i.e. payroll, holiday pay, sick leave etc.).
• Invoiced for work performed only.
• Can be used on a project by project basis.
• Minimal need to provide office space, hardware or supplies.
• Broad range of services are offered
• Frees up your time to work on income producing tasks
• Reduce the need to be skilled at all the tasks associated with running a successful business
• Increase the value of your time by eliminating tasks that can be outsourced for less.

Ongoing Administrative Support

Everyday administrative tasks can add up quickly when not performed regularly and consistently but the job may not be large enough to make hiring an employee cost effective. Although, most of these types of tasks are simple to perform they can be time consuming and often seem less important in the big picture of running your own business. Utilizing details to attend to these tasks will give your company the appearance of a seamless operation.

A non-exhaustive selection of administrative functions that may benefit from outsourced is:

• Document Formatting, Proofreading and Editing
• Reminder Services
• Transcription
• Internet Research
• Supplies Purchasing
• Travel Arrangements
• Event Planning
• Time Management
• Customer Service Feedback
• General Correspondence
• Social Media Management
