A Gift of Time



 

~ Virtual Assistants explained ~

What is a Virtual Assistant (VA)?

A VA is a self-employed (or) freelance huge helping of business support to (usually, but not limited to) Small Business Owners / Entrepreneurs / Solopreneurs.

What is the benefit of hiring a VA?

VA's are also business owners, usually with a wealth of experience - they feel your pain points and want to help iron them out. VA's work in a very collaborative network, so you get alot for your money!

VA vs Employee

Don't get me wrong, employees are great! But with employees comes other financial obligations, such as PAYE, Tax, NI, Benefits etc. - not to mention holiday pay! A VA sorts all of the above personally, another thing you don't have to worry about ~ you're welcome!

Plant your dreams

The seed for growth

Busy Business + VA = Growth minus stress

Is your business growing at a rate that's leaving your admin behind?

Are you at that 'in-between' stage where you need an assistant yet not quite ready for a full team?

A Virtual Assistant could be the answer for you ~ and Avail is here to help.

Is there a face behind Avail?

Yes, and a name too! 

Hi ~ my name is Emma Platts.

I am a Wife, Mum and Step-Mum (and a dog mum to boot)! I have 30yrs experience as a PA/Office Manager and basically LOVE to help organise and set systems in place.

I set up Avail so I could put myself out there and help small businesses (mainly, but not restricted to) organise their office space, alleviate pain points and generally take the bulk of the load. In essence, I run your admin so you can run your business!
