Hear Why Karina Chose Virtalent
Karina explains “I’d tried other Virtual Assistant systems before and really found them lacking. But when I found the Virtalent team, it just ‘clicked’!”
Hire Top People You Can Depend On
The number one reason businesses switch from AVirtual to Virtalent is the quality of our people.
We’re proud to set the bar high: our trusted VAs need over 8 years relevant experience to even download an application form. In reality, last year, new starters had an average 15.6 years experience when joining the team!
At AVirtual, VAs are franchisees (‘AVirtual Partners’). Perhaps that’s why they only ask that your VA has worked somewhere for just 2 years. Then they’ll take their franchise fee.
Skip The Headache
Growing a business is a challenge. You’re short on time and need to use it wisely.
Can you afford to suffer setbacks and frustrating delays from cultural clashes, different working hours and a lack of UK knowledge? Whether you just need a train booked from Manchester to Bristol, or want critical competitor research on the latest startups coming out of London, it’s important you don’t just spend your week going around in circles.
Hire an experienced, handpicked Virtual Assistant right here in the UK, and you’ll soon realise you’ve made the wiser choice.
Get More Bang For Your British Buck
Our higher price tag makes a lot of sense. It’s because we give you more!
Here, the unused hours you’ve already paid for do roll over. Here, you get to work with a premium quality Virtual Assistant. Here, you’ll get access to proper holiday cover whenever your VA needs a well-earned break.
Yes, nice things cost a little more, but when you compare Virtalent to AVirtual, the difference is clear.
