Virtual Assistant

---

Virtual assistant is the transferring activities or ownership of a complete business process to a different country from the country (or countries) where the company receiving the services is located. This is primarily to access a lower cost labor market, but may also be to access additional skilled labor or establish a business presence in a foreign country.

Securing  a  virtual assistant occurs when a company re-establishes a business unit, process or function in a country where the costs of fulfilling the work are lower. In offshoring, the rest of the company's business functions continue to operate in their country of origin.

A company that's offshoring often hires a local workforce to perform the same job responsibilities that employees in the business's country of origin originally performed. Once the company chooses an offshore location and hires staff, the business functions resume as they were before but at a lower cost.

My Exec maintains a variety of companies that offer virtual assistant services and can seamlessly complement any business segment such as:

• Accounts receivable billing
• Collections
• Accounts payable processing
• Customer service
• Personal assistant
• Project management
• Operational support
• Administrative support

1. Greater availability

Companies can achieve greater availability for their customers if offshoring takes place in locations that allow them to offer 24/7 customer service in the company's original time zone. This type of availability may not be possible at a cost-effective rate in the company's original time zone but offshoring can make this possible at a lower cost. For example, having IT Support experts located in countries with different time zones ensures there's always someone available to assist customers.

2. Decreased labor costs

Offshoring allows businesses to pay less for labor-intensive processes such as manufacturing, customer support, information technology development and coding. These services may cost less to sustain in the offshore location. Not only is the cost of labor less expensive but there may be more people interested in working in these types of positions.

3. Lower tax obligations

Countries in which offshore labor is prevalent often look for ways to incentivize companies to establish operations and hire local employees. This can be a boon to their local economy, which benefits the country and its population. To attract companies to offshore, these countries may create tax laws that benefit foreign companies that establish operations in their country.

4. Improved cash flow

Reduced operating expenses can im prove cash flow for a business freeing up that cash allows for reinvestment in research and development and increased profitability. This means greater profit margins and more money that business leaders can circulate back into growing the company.
