More than an independent VA.
Independent VAs can be a flexible option, but they often come without the backup, quality assurance or the continuity your business needs. At Virtalent, every VA is carefully selected, fully supported and covered if they’re ever unavailable - giving you reliable support that never misses a single beat.

Your VA is part of a wider multi-skilled team, giving you access to extra expertise if needed. |
If your VA lacks a skill, you’ll need to source it elsewhere. |
| Holiday and illness cover. |
Built-in cover means your support continues without disruption. |
When they take time off, so does your support. |
| Swap VAs when needed. |
Simply speak with your Client Success Coach to arrange a change. |
If it’s not working out, you’ll need to start the search again. |
| Independently vetted. |
All VAs pass a rigorous selection process, identity checks by Veriphy 360 and reference verification. |
Quality checks vary and you’ll need to take their word for it. |

Had enough of going solo?
With Virtalent, you’ll never worry about absences, gaps in cover or variable quality. Our team is here to give you consistent, reliable support.
When your VA is out, your work shouldn’t be
Continuity you can count on.
Independent VAs work alone, which means when they’re sick, on holiday or simply unavailable, your business feels it.
With UK employees averaging 7.8 sick days a year (CIPD), that risk is bigger than ever.
Virtalent removes the impact with built-in cover and a support team behind every VA, so your business keeps moving, no matter what.

“Jo my VA is excellent and I wouldn't want to be without her.”
“Brilliant service. VT are so supportive. My VA was amazing.”
“Great service, really helped us understand the need for senior admin support. Easy way to scale up capacity. Would highly recommend!”
“I appreciate the opportunity to get support to find a VA who can help me in areas that I need done, but don't have the time to do myself. The option to try the services of a VA, and if not happy, this is addressed immediately.
I am happy to say that I have been working with my VA for one year and seven months, as I write this. She is excellent, and the best VA I've ever had, and I've tried a few over the years, outside of choosing to use Virtalent. I love the portal and the easy of communication and reporting.”
“We’ve been working with Natasha from Virtalent since March and couldn’t be happier with her performance, approach, and friendliness. We did have a small issue with Virtalent at the beginning, but they handled it quickly, professionally, and to our complete satisfaction. Virtalent is a great agency that helped us find exactly what we needed. Thank you! :)”
