t can be impossible to fit everything on your to-do list into your day. Sometimes you wish you could hand some of those tasks to someone that you know will do a good job. That is why we love outsourcing, and why you

should love it too. The great thing is that a reduced to-do list is not the only benefit of outsourcing. We have listed our favourite reasons to embrace outsourcing, and how it can help your business.

Why we Love Outsourcing..

The Money You Save

You won’t have to provide your VA with an office space, a computer or other equipment. They work from their own office and have all of the necessary tools to complete the job. You also only pay them for the hours that they work. That means you don’t have to pay them during quiet times, bathroom breaks, lunch breaks or factor in holidays. Compared to the cost of an employee, a VA is far cheaper overall.

The Time You Save

You don’t need to coordinate with a team member to fit tasks into a workable schedule. You simply send off the tasks to be completed, and specify a due date. No explaining, no waiting for colleagues to be ready - just work completed on time. There is also no down time for bad weather, traffic jams

or general commuting.

Capitalise on Expertise

Your VA will have the right tools for the job. This ranges from the expertise to complete specific tasks, to having the right software and equipment. You cannot be an expert in every area of

business. Make the most of a VA’s expertise and experience by giving them the tasks that you aren’t good at, or the tasks that take too much of your own time to complete.

You Can Focus on What You Are Good At

Don’t waste your time on non-billable tasks. If you are able to pass off these tasks to someone you can trust to do a good job, then you can focus on more important areas of your business. You will have the time to nail your marketing, grow your brand, and increase sales.
