Basic guide to setting up a VA business
What has motivated you to think of being a Virtual Assistant? Do you want to be independent? Do you have services to offer that you cannot do in your day to day work? Do you simply want a challenge? Are you setting up a family and want to work from home to be near the kids. Are you sick of the rat race?
It is important for us to point out that we do not hire Virtual Assistants. Our Virtual Assistant Network is a support group which also provides access to jobleads. Any excess workload Virtually Yours has, goes straight to the members on the network, and all new enquiries go to our network members. If you are looking for support and access to jobleads, please read about our VYVA Membership.
Setting up your Virtual Assistance Business
Sounds easy? Or does it sound scary perhaps? This section outlines the basic requirements of setting up a business. Setting up a business in Australia is quite simple. You just need to know what your rights and responsibilities are. Make sure you take the time to sit down and read these carefully.
Please note that there are many important steps which need to be considered to run a successful business which wont be outlined here. Examples of points which are not covered here include - setting up a business plan, determining the need for your services, obtaining finance, business insurance. A great place to learn about these additional questions is at the Australian Business Website. We are happy to add links to international business websites - please send us an email if you can recommend one.
