A VA is a Virtual Assistant who gives secretarial support, mostly online, working from their own home office. We are self-employed and work on an “as and when” basis.

Avocet Business Solutions (ABS) works for both individuals and companies.  All my work is done “out-of-hours” so is not limited to a 9 to 5 routine.

1. You pay only for the work I do – I do not charge you for any breaks I take and I will bill you by the minute, so if you just want one letter typed, or a report of 1,000 pages, that is absolutely fine! 


2. You do not pay for Tax or National Insurance – this is my responsibility.


3. You do not pay Holiday Allowance or Sick Pay  - this is my responsibility.


4. You do not need to supply me with equipment or office space or pay for any unnecessary overheads - I work from my home office.


5. You do not need to spend valuable time training up a Temp.  – I will only offer the skills where I am competent and can give best service (and I’m learning new ones all the time!)


6. You do not have to stick to a 9 to 5 office routine – I work “out-of-hours”, mostly at evenings and weekends, so can be flexible in my work routine.


7. You will get 10% off your first order and I give discounts for students and registered charities.


8. You do not have to pay for a consultation – talk to me and tell me what you need.  I can also give you a free estimate.  Contact me by phone, text, mobile or email.  If you live near Crediton we can meet and have a coffee!


9. You will have someone who will take pride in the work they do.  My business is there to help your business and I will not be happy until you are!


10. You will have more time free to run your business or be with your family – don’t get stuck in the office, let me look after the administration!
