Starting your own virtual assistant (VA) business can be an exciting way to gain flexibility, independence, and financial freedom. But it can also feel overwhelming, especially if you’re doing it alone. 

 

 

Most virtual assistants start with a foundation of transferable skills. If you’ve worked in administration, project management, customer service, or any role requiring organisation and attention to detail, you likely already have what it takes. Common tasks VAs handle include: 

 

- Managing schedules and emails. 

- Coordinating events and projects. 

- Supporting businesses with admin and marketing tasks. 

 

What sets successful VAs apart is not just their skills, but their ability to market those skills effectively to the right clients—a challenge many underestimate when starting solo. 

 

Building a VA business on your own involves wearing multiple hats. You’re not just the VA - you’re also the marketer, the salesperson, the accountant, and the branding expert. 

 

 

- How to attract clients: Who is your target market, and where do you find them? 

- What to charge: Set your pricing too low, and you’re undervaluing yourself. Too high, and you might scare clients away. 

- How to grow sustainably: Consistently finding new clients and retaining them takes effort and know-how.
