Almost any business can benefit from outsourcing administrative tasks. This can result in cost savings, increased efficiency and greater flexibility.
For example, Solopreneurs working from home or hotdesks tend not to have the facilities to employ and house additional staff, therefore a virtual solution is perfect for them to receive the support they need without changing their physical office setup. Tradesmen or business people that generally work from home, or mobile, rather than a workplace, can really find remote / virtual services very successful. Small businesses that are in the process of growth that require support, but are not ready to take on the risks of payroll and employing a staff member. Businesses that require flexible staffing, for ad hoc tasks, or backup when workloads increase, as well as the ability to reduce their staff when the need decreases. Covering payroll during periods of low workloads, or even irregular workloads can be challenging during business startup or growth phases. Many businesses have seasonal workload trends, and the ability to engage flexible support on an as-needs basis can be a boon for many and a huge cost saving. The ability to utilise assistance for as little or as much as a business requires without the need for recruitment fees and the constraints or legalities of awards, especially with regards to minimum hours can significantly reduce stress.
