Why Hire a VA

The benefits of hiring a virtual assistant.

Still wondering whether a VA is worth the investment? Here's what changes when you stop trying to do everything yourself.

16hrs

per week spent on admin by the average SME owner

Reclaim Your Time

The average founder spends 16 hours a week on admin. That's two full working days. A virtual EA gives you that time back to focus on revenue, strategy, and leadership.

70%

potential cost saving vs in-house hire

Significant Cost Savings

An in-house PA costs £25,000–£35,000 per year in salary alone — before employer NI, pension, holiday pay, equipment, and office space. A virtual EA delivers the same support at a fraction of the cost.

Flex

contracts that move with your business

Scale Instantly

Busy quarter? Add more hours. Quiet period? Scale back. You only pay for the support you need. No redundancy risk, no awkward conversations.

CIPD

qualified HR support included

Executive-Level Quality

A good EA isn't just someone who does tasks. They're a professional who brings experience, systems, and anticipatory thinking. At Office Boss, our team has years of experience across admin, HR, and operations.

62%

of calls to small businesses go unanswered

Never Miss an Opportunity

How many potential clients have called while you were in a meeting or too busy to respond? A virtual EA handles enquiries, follows up on leads, and ensures no opportunity falls through the cracks.

100%

of your downtime should be yours

Actually Switch Off

When was the last time you truly disconnected? With a virtual EA managing your operations, you can take a proper break knowing your business is in safe hands.
