myPA launches “The Gift of Time”

Research published  by Barclays in 2006 revealed that the owners of small to medium businesses in the UK put in significantly more hours than the average UK worker. It revealed that entrepreneurs on average spend over 15 hours per week on administration, which equates to almost two full days of the average workers week. For many, time taken to fulfil the administrative tasks results in less time invested in business development. Around 1 in 10 small businesses undertake no business development activities.
Barriers to reducing the business owner’s working week are cited as:

• a desire to retain control  (51 per cent)
• lack of anyone else able to undertake the task (67 per cent).

In response to these startling figures, myPA offers “The Gift of Time”. Our certificate provides blocks of hours of Virtual Assistant services, ideal for the small business without the desire, or possibly premises to directly employ staff. The virtual Assistant solution provides administrative support only when a client needs it, and only for the tasks chosen by the client. Experienced Virtual Assistants will undertake tasks which the entrepreneur does not wish to, freeing the entrepreneur to undertake more valuable activities. VA work principally from the myPA central offices, relieving clients of the burden of providing additional office space. The Barclays research indicates that six out of ten entrepreneurs feel that regulation is a barrier to doing business. VPA can deal with much of the regulatory red tape (such as accounting, health and safety, payroll) that prevents the entrepreneur from spending time on other priorities. It is also worth noting that a priority may be increased leisure time – 72 per cent of business owners said that it would be the way in which they would choose to spend an extra hour a day created by changing the way they worked. Using VPA services is a way of working smarter, not harder.

The Gift of Time makes an excellent gift for the overstretched entrepreneur, a great corporate gift, or just a way to reward yourself. Blocks of 5, 10, 15 or 20 are available, and further information can be obtained from info@mypabusiness.com

myPA are thrilled to announce that another one of our clients has worked its way through ‘The myPA Solution’ (see below). We believe that most, if not all of your administrative services can be outsourced to a professional Virtual Personal Assistant (VPA), and this particular client is certainly proof of that.

Almost three years ago we started to assist this young but growing business with some aspects of their administration. Initially just undertaking a few telephone calls and some database maintenance together with some internet research. Within a few months we had also taken on much of their customer services, which included answering the telephone in their company name and dealing with clients, suppliers and internal staff. We also undertook a series of customer surveys and then started on their credit control.

Within the last few months this client has taken the enormous step of taking on their first employee.

myPA has been there all the way, guiding them though the recruitment process, assisting with the interview process and then being there while the new employee found her feet and undertook her training. We were there to make sure the business continued to work to the full extent until she was able to take on the full duties that are involved in this position.  

What is even better news for myPA, is that we are still on hand to pick up any additional work that may be needed due to this fast grown company expanding into Europe.
