14. CONCLUSION
Many small businesses with limited space and resources find partnering with a
Virtual Assistant to be effective, with great advantages and very little cost.
Certainly, the cost is minimal, in comparison for the need to lease
space, provide and maintain equipment, and hire a full time or part time
employee, which may include benefits, when there is not a need for that level
of staffing.
Many corporate businesses find an advantage to hiring Virtual Assistants for a
myriad of administrative services. Corporate businesses often find it much
more efficient and effective to hire a dedicated Virtual Assistant for major
projects. This allows the business to meet its goal with the project, while
maintaining high morale with its employees who are relieved they are not
required to find time to complete one more project when they are already
working at full capacity.
