My VA business

Are you looking for a more rewarding role that you can start immediately?

Would you like to build something for yourself, work from home, and choose hours that fit around your life?

If so, My VA Business could help you on your journey.

We show you how to turn the skills you already have into your own successful Virtual Assistant business, with a complete step-by-step programme that gives you everything you need to get started.

Today's most successful VAs combine practical organisational skills with modern technology to deliver even greater value for their clients. We show you how to use the latest AI tools professionally and responsibly to work more efficiently, while applying the human judgement, common sense and attention to detail that businesses still depend on. It's this combination that allows you to provide a high-quality service that today's clients genuinely value.

You don’t need any previous self-employment experience to become a Virtual Assistant, and you can build a business that's tailored to your own lifestyle, goals and availability.

At My VA Business, we're straightforward and transparent. You'll receive practical training, ongoing support whenever you need it, and access to a community of fellow VAs who understand the journey you're on.

What kind of work do Virtual Assistants do?

Virtual Assistants can offer a range of administrative services, and as your own boss, you can choose exactly the type of work you’ll do. Some examples of services you might offer include:

  • General Administration
  • Diary & Calendar Management
  • Email & Inbox Management
  • Travel Planning & Booking
  • Project Coordination & Support
  • Customer Service
  • Online Research & Information Gathering
  • Document Formatting & Presentation

Using modern technology appropriately, many VAs also help clients by:

  • Drafting emails, letters and documents for review
  • Summarising meetings, reports and lengthy documents
  • Creating presentations and briefing notes
  • Organising information and knowledge bases
  • Producing first drafts of marketing content
  • Managing simple automations and online systems
  • Repurposing content for websites, newsletters and social media

If you already have experience in a particular field, you may also choose to offer more specialised services (often allowing you to charge higher rates), such as:

  • Marketing
  • Bookkeeping
  • Social Media Management
  • Tech & IT Support
  • Medical or Legal Administration
  • Translation
  • CRM & Database Management
  • Event Planning
  • Podcast, Webinar or Online Meeting Support

What can starting your own VA business do for you?

  • Freedom over the hours you work
  • A better work-life balance - whatever that means to you
  • Financial freedom - VAs charge on average £30/hour
  • No wasted time commuting (working from home)

You might have experience in a role like... (not essential)

  • Personal Assistant
  • Executive Assistant
  • Administrator
  • Marketing
  • Compliance
  • Business Analyst
  • Bookkeeper
  • Copywriter
  • Project Manager

Why should you consider our VA programme?

We've helped hundreds of people change course and set up successful Virtual Assistant businesses, using their existing skills to build their own brand. You don’t need Personal Assistant (PA) experience.

We feel passionately that you should have choice and freedom when running your Virtual Assistant business so that you can make it your own. You choose your hours, you pick the work you do and importantly, you decide which clients you want to work with.

There are so many benefits of running a VA business that's 100% yours - unlike a franchise model, we don’t charge hefty upfront fees or expect you to share a percentage of your ongoing income.

Our programme is very low cost but packed full of value. If you consider that the average hourly rate for a VA in the UK is £30 and an average client might use you for 20 hours a month, you should get your initial investment back within just one month of working with your first client.

You're probably wondering how you'll get clients

We’ve been doing it since 2005 so we know what works and what doesn't.

Getting clients is the main focus of our programme - we show you proven ways to get the right type of clients who'll appreciate you, and who you'll love working with.

So, what next if you think you have the makings of a great VA?

Our step-by-step FAB-VA programme provides all the guidance and video support you need to build a successful VA business from scratch. The guesswork has been removed to save you both time and money, take a look at our website to see how others have found it.

The programme can fit around your current circumstances, and you can continue to work until you've started onboarding your own clients. Some people even choose to permanently run their VA business alongside a part-time job.

We show you realistic earning potential in years 1 & 2 in our webinar about becoming a Virtual Assistant. We encourage you to watch this video now so you can decide if being a VA is right for you.
