Virtual Assistants Save Mom and Pop Shops

Saginaw, MI, March 05, 2007 --(PR.com)-- While small businesses continue to struggle to make it in today’s economy, virtual assistants come to their rescue. Administration costs in a typical office environment can take a huge chunk out of a company’s profit. Hourly wages, health insurance, workers compensation insurance, sick pay, vacation pay, and retirement costs are just a few of the costs of employing a full time assistant. Not only that you need to remember the cost of office equipment, wear and tear on the equipment, and the utilities it takes to run the equipment.

Virtual Assistants or VA’s save the small Mom and Pop companies big bucks by eliminating most of these costs. VA’s typically work from their home office using their own computers and other business equipment. They normally charge per project so the client does not pay for 8 hours work when they only need 2. As you can see, this can be a huge savings to small businesses.

After Hours Typing Service is one such Virtual Assistant company. They opened for business in May, 2006. Some of the services offered are typing, word processing, data entry, and mailing lists. The owner has over 25 years of office experience and is eager to assist small businesses or individuals with any project large or small.
