You need more time. Your inbox is unmanageable, your schedule is overbooked, and the work that actually moves your business forward keeps getting postponed. Hiring a virtual assistant is the fastest way to reclaim your time and your focus.
VirtualAssistantVA connects you with a dedicated, full-time virtual assistant in 48 hours. Starting at $10 to $15 per hour.
Why Hire a Virtual Assistant
Hiring a VA is not just about delegating tasks. It is about protecting the hours where you are most productive and most valuable.
Time back. A VA handles the repetitive work that eats your week: email triage, scheduling, data entry, customer replies, research, and reporting. Most business owners reclaim 10 to 20 hours per week after their first month.
Lower cost than local staff. A dedicated full-time VA costs a fraction of a US-based employee. No payroll taxes, no benefits, no office overhead. You pay an hourly rate, starting at $10 to $15 per hour.
Faster results than freelancers. A dedicated VA learns your business and works exclusively for you. You get consistent output without the constant re-briefing that comes with freelance platforms.
What You Can Delegate to Your VA
The most common tasks clients hand off immediately after hiring:
- Administrative support: Email management, calendar scheduling, travel booking, document handling, CRM updates
- Customer service: Inbox responses, live chat coverage, order tracking, ticket resolution
- Bookkeeping support: Invoice creation, expense categorization, receipt organization, reconciliation prep
- Marketing tasks: Social media scheduling, email newsletter prep, blog formatting, research
- Lead generation: Prospect research, outreach list building, CRM data entry, follow-up sequencing
Not sure if your tasks qualify? Any remote, computer-based task is a candidate. If you can describe it clearly, a trained VA can handle it.
Who Should Hire a Virtual Assistant
Solo founders and solopreneurs who are spending more than 10 hours a week on admin work that does not generate revenue.
Small business owners who need consistent support but cannot justify the cost of a full-time local employee.
E-commerce operators who need ongoing customer service, order management, and product listing support without fluctuating freelance costs.
Consultants and service providers who need research, scheduling, and client communication support so they can focus on billable work.
Executives who need calendar management, travel coordination, and inbox triage to protect high-value time.

What to Look for When You Hire a VA
Not all virtual assistant services work the same way. Before you commit, ask these questions:
- Is the VA dedicated to your business, or shared across multiple clients?
- What is the vetting process? Are assistants tested for skills, reliability, and English communication?
- What happens if the match is not right? Is there a replacement guarantee?
- Are there setup fees or long-term contracts?
- How quickly can the VA start?
At VirtualAssistantVA, every assistant is pre-vetted, dedicated to your business only, and backed by a replacement guarantee. No setup fees. No long-term contracts.
Pricing
Hiring a virtual assistant through VirtualAssistantVA starts at $10 to $15 per hour for a full-time dedicated assistant. This covers any combination of tasks across admin, customer service, bookkeeping support, marketing, or lead generation.
For context: a US-based executive assistant typically costs $25 to $50 per hour as a freelancer, or $45,000 to $65,000 per year as a full-time employee. A dedicated offshore VA through our service delivers comparable output at a fraction of that cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a virtual assistant?
VirtualAssistantVA pricing starts at $10 to $15 per hour for a dedicated full-time assistant. The exact rate depends on the skills and experience level required for your tasks. There are no setup fees or long-term contracts.
How quickly can I hire a virtual assistant?
Most clients are matched with a VA within 48 hours of completing the intake form. Your VA is typically ready to start handling tasks within one to two business days of the match.
What is the difference between a dedicated VA and a shared VA?
A dedicated VA works exclusively for your business. A shared VA splits their time across multiple clients. Dedicated VAs build institutional knowledge of your tools and processes, which produces better output over time. VirtualAssistantVA only places dedicated full-time assistants.
Can I hire a virtual assistant for just a few hours per week?
VirtualAssistantVA focuses on full-time dedicated placements. If you need a few hours per week, a freelance platform may be a better fit. But if you have more than 20 hours of tasks per week, a dedicated VA will save you time and money compared to managing multiple freelancers.
What if my VA is not working out?
We offer a replacement guarantee. If your VA is not meeting your expectations, contact us and we will find you a new match at no additional cost.
