How to Get Started with Your Virtual Assistant

Embarking on a journey with a Virtual Assistant can be transformative for your business. Whether you're looking to lighten your workload, scale operations, or simply get more done with less stress, having the right VA by your side makes all the difference. To help you start strong, we’ve outlined everything you need to know about getting up and running with your new support partner.

Confirming Your Selection

Once you've completed the interview process and found the right Virtual Assistant for your business, it's time to formalise the partnership. At this stage, you'll officially confirm your selection and move forward with onboarding.

Service Agreement

To ensure a smooth working relationship, we provide a detailed service agreement. This outlines key elements such as the scope of work, confidentiality terms, payment structure and service expectations. It’s designed to protect both parties and create a clear foundation for success.

Setting Up Communication Channels

Clear communication is at the heart of every successful VA partnership. Together, we’ll determine your preferred methods of communication, whether it’s via email, phone, video calls or project management tools like Trello or Slack. We also recommend scheduling regular check-ins to stay aligned, review progress, and address any updates or concerns as they arise.

Payment and Invoicing

We make payment straightforward and transparent. All hours are billed in advance, and clients can choose from flexible payment options including credit or debit card, bank transfer or direct debit. You’ll also receive weekly timesheets for review and approval, so you always have full visibility of the work being completed.

Onboarding and Training

To help your VA hit the ground running, we provide an onboarding process tailored to your business. You’ll gain access to our exclusive client portal with resources, guides and best practices. Optional training sessions are also available to walk you and your VA through key tools and software to ensure everyone is aligned from day one.

Continuous Support

Your success is our top priority. Even after onboarding, our team is here to offer ongoing support whenever needed. We schedule regular feedback sessions to ensure you’re happy with the service and to make any necessary refinements as your business evolves.

Start Strong with the Right Support

Bringing a Virtual Assistant into your business is more than just hiring help, it’s about building a productive partnership that supports your goals.

By following these steps, you’ll set the foundation for a smooth, efficient and rewarding collaboration.
