Full Time Vs Virtual Assistant

If you’re still doing all of your own admin work to save your business money, your actually wasting it…

2025 research shows that hiring a full time admin staff member in the UK, costs you; 

• Salary £25,000-£28,000
• Employer NI + Pension = £3,500
• Excluding other overheads such as holidays, sick days, software, desk space etc
• These numbers very quickly become £32,000k as an outlay for your business

In comparison, working with a virtual assistant you will only pay for;

• The hours you use or a retained package
• No holidays, sick days, software, desk space or any surprise costs
• No hand holding or training as we are confidential in what we do!
• Cost - £40 an hour or between £380-£1080 per month if you choose a retained package
