F.A.Q.s

What is a Virtual Assistant?
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a small business owner who provides administrative and technical support to clients from a remote location.



How does it work?
With technology, information can be transferred quickly and confidentially making it possible to outsource work of many kinds. Virtual Assistants provide administrative support from remote locations and use modern technology to communicate with and transfer information to their clients.



How can a Virtual Assistant help your business?
Virtual Assistants have years of experience in business and business management. They are computer and internet literate and are prepared to assist their clients with all of their administrative and technical needs. They will take care of the details so their clients have more time to focus on what they do best - promoting their business.



Who would work with a Virtual Assistant?
Anyone who is seeking more free time would benefit from working with a Virtual Assistant. Busy professionals, small and home-based businesses, consultants, coaches, real estate professionals, non-profit and charitable organizations have all successfully used Virtual Assistants.



What type of services does a Virtual Assistant provide?
Services vary from basic administrative to highly technical skills. If your Virtual Assistant is not skilled in a particular area that you need, they will find someone among their network to complete the project for you.



How much will it cost?
You can expect to pay $30-$50/hour or more depending on the skills, experience and type of work they perform. Many Virtual Assistants offer retainer packages for clients that use their services on a regular basis.



What are the benefits of partnering with Berg Business Solutions, Inc.?
Hiring an employee can be expensive. When you factor in training, a hefty benefit package, downtime, productivity, and tax liability, the real cost of an employee can be as high as 2 1/2 times their annual salary. Hiring a temporary worker is not necessarily a better solution. They will take longer to train, are short term and have no loyalty to you or your business.
