WHAT IS A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT?
In the traditional office, we are known as Administrative Assistants, Office Clerks, Project Coordinators, etc., but in the Web community, we are known as Virtual Assistants (VA). Virtual Assistant Solutions MN is a remote administrative support company. We are independent contractors who provide virtual business management and support with administrative tasks on an as-needed basis. We help start-up entrepreneurs organize their business, existing businesses support or enhance their current operational processes, assistance with personal organizational and project tasks, or just providing support with the everyday running of a business.
Virtual Assistants work from their own offices and use their own equipment, eliminating overhead. The client incurs no payroll taxes, no insurance costs as well as no fringe benefit expenses No task is too large or too small. Assignments are usually communicated through email, phone, or fax. They can provide assistance along with your current employees or help you find employees. If you just need one for a one time project, most of them can accommodate you and also provide full-time permanent support.

WHY A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT?*
Assume a current hourly rate of $25:$25 x 40 hours = $1,000 Weekly
$1,000 x 4 weeks = $4,000 Monthly$4,000 x 12 months = $48,000 Yearly
+ 35% (taxes & benefits) = $64,000 AnnuallyPLUS: Non-productive hours, lunch breaks,
technology, sick and holiday pay, vacations, etc.
Assume a minimum number of 20 hours for a Virtual Assistant:
$25 x 20 hours = $500 Weekly$500 x 4 weeks = $2,000 Monthly
$2,000 x 12 months = $24,000 Annually
*With a Virtual Assistant, you never pay for taxes, benefits, lunch breaks, sick or holiday pay, non-
productive hours or expensive technology because we are independent contractors working from our
own home office only if and when you require assistance.
