As a small business ourselves, we are very interested in ensuring the success of your business.

 

The reason why the hours calculated are less with the VA option is that we only charge for the time work on a project and unlike a temp, we do not include tea breaks, rest breaks or any other breaks in our charges.

 

We can track how long we spend on each project and provide evidence to support this.

 

We only charge for postage, packing, telephone calls, stationery which is in additional to the work agreed.

 

The only problem you have to decide is whether you need someone in your office all day (assuming you have the room), or whether you think it is more cost effective and efficient to work in an environmentally friendly way.
