Your Virtual Assistant Business Setup Starts Here
When I decided to make a career change to start a home-business and become a virtual assistant, I was pretty overwhelmed. If you’ve read my bio, you know that I spend months researching, questioning my choice and worrying about whether my business would actually succeed. 14+ years later, I can confidently say that it was one of the best professional decisions I’ve made.
Back when I started, the term “virtual assistant” was not common, so I spent a lot of time explaining what it was. Fast-forward to today and the virtual assistant industry has grown like crazy and it’s one of the least expensive legit home-businesses to start. Small business owners are well aware of the advantages of virtual business support.
Why does this matter?
It matters because the industry has changed for the better and now there are easily accessible resources to guide you through setting up a virtual assistant business. So many, as a matter of fact, that narrowing down what you actually need is just as overwhelming as not knowing where to start!
I am here to help!

Sound too easy? That’s the point. You DO NOT need to make it complicated. This is the straight-forward approach to get your business set up. While each main topic in the list has several steps, the point is that in order to have your business ready to officially launch and take on new clients, you don’t have to have every tiny detail in place first. For example, you may have a basic marketing plan, but the detailed strategy and marketing materials can wait. Marketing is an ongoing process that will need to be adjusted as trends change, as you build your business and as you learn what does and what does not work so don’t dedicate too much time to the nitty gritty right now.
Virtual Assistant Business Checklist
Here is the startup checklist in more detail.
Let’s talk about the
Virtual Assistant Business Planner
A Practical Guide for Starting a Virtual Assistant Business. This eBook is loaded with practical information and steps to guide you through a streamlined business setup. The idea is to make the most of your time so you can focus on building a client base and making money. This powerful guide will help you setup your new business with surprisingly simple steps and tons of recommended resources.
​
Plus as a BONUS, you will receive a copy of a time-tested, easy-to-use, fully customizable virtual assistant client agreement. (Note as the name indicates this is an agreement, it is not intended to be a proposal. It is a one-page outline of your work policies, procedures, payment terms, cancellation notice etc. which you would like your new client to be aware of and agree to). You may want to run it by legal counsel as well.
Virtual Assistant Client Agreement
I learned over the years that it is rare to have a new client that knows up front more than a handful of tasks they need you to manage. Not only that, but they often don’t have much detail prepared as far as how those tasks will be accomplished. Therefore a detailed proposal did not work. This agreement is simple and to the point and in 14+ years I have never had a client question the content or express concerns. It is that easy to understand.
​
My clients look to me to help them understand how to utilize my services. They rely on me to tell them what I need to accomplish tasks and to share best practices for working with a virtual assistant.
Being in the position of knowing what does and does not work has so many benefits and I will share two that I find extremely beneficial.
First, you are knowledgeable and confident when interacting with clients.
​
Second, as you begin to learn about a client’s business and what support a client needs, you can use that knowledge to upsell additional services.
​
My career in the virtual assistant industry has been very rewarding. It is not a get rich quick home business opportunity. It takes work to establish yourself and to develop a reputation for reliable and quality work. At the same time, you are your own boss and you’re making your own hours!

Essential Virtual Assistant Business Tools
These resources are designed to create a SOLID foundation for your business. Creating systems and processes that are easily repeatable and sustainable as your business grows should be a priority and a best practice and this is exactly how I designed these documents.
​
They are the actual documents that I use every day to manage my business. I have perfected them over the years but by having a core set of operational and administrative templates that require minimal changes between clients and tasks saves me a LOT of time. That is time I can dedicate to client work which equals making money!
​
These packages don’t have a lot of fluff. They are a collection of templates and tools that you can put to use immediately AND they are affordable!
​
I am a firm believer that simple is better. If you try to implement a form for every little process and task, you’ll end up spending too much time updating all the checklists and tracking sheets/calendars and not enough time completing client work and marketing to new prospects. LESS IS MORE!
