What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant is an Independent Contractor, therefore, you do not pay payroll taxes or benefits.
A Virtual Assistant is convenient! A VA is available when you have work that needs to be done yesterday. A VA can ensure that business people working in a home office have access to all of the support benefits enjoyed by a business person in the corner office of a major corporation -- without having to hire any employees!
