Outsource Your PA Needs

20/07/2010

Imagine having your own PA who knows you and your business but only paying for them when you need them!

As more and more people work in a flexible manner opportunities arise as to how staff can be most effectively employed. Arriving at 9am on a Monday and working each day through till 5pm on Friday and having a secretary who is there all the time, is no longer the reality for many people.

So what are the alternatives for a small business or sole trader who requires support but not all the time? At one end of the spectrum is the full time PA employed on a full or part time contract with sick and holiday pay and all the other benefits commensurate with such a position. Or a temporary PA through an agency when you know you will need the help; paying an hourly rate for someone who is new to you and your business. Maybe a virtual PA who can answer your phone and do your typing but isn’t there to interact with you as the priorities change.

buy:time’s flexible business support offers a unique middle ground the “sweet spot” between the two, combining the benefits of a regular member of staff who gets to know your business, clients and you with the flexibility of calling a temp when you need an extra pair of hands. Working where you need them to be or combining face to face time with remote support, a buy:time PA will be a highly effective addition to your team.

This pay-as- you- go service allows you to use as little or much of your dedicated PA’s time as you require. You can alter the hours you use to suit your schedule and needs.

All buy:time PAs are highly skilled and motivated with experience in many business sectors and with specific skills such as legal, medical and finance. A varied portfolio of clients and a sense of responsibility developing over what we always hope will be a long term relationship means that are PAs tend to stay longer and work harder.

With prices starting at £29 per hour plus VAT and no employee benefits to pay, isn’t it time you looked at a flexible business support solution?
