Virtual Assistants Are Attracting Businesses at a Rapid Rate

Houston, TX October 10th, 2006--Virtual Assistants, or VA's, have become
increasingly popular in business development and production today. Companies are
choosing not to pay for full-time employment to save space and time and would rather
get that same work "virtually." Virtual assistant companies across the US are
providing administrative and writing/editing services to a variety of businesses;
allowing businesses to focus on their core competency.

Articles and newsletters are being written confirming this virtual assistant rise in
popularity. Paul and Sarah Edwards of Entrepreneur.com explain: "As a virtual
assistant, you take on the nitty-gritty work for independent professionals and small
businesses that don\'t need a full-time secretary or office manager." Khalid Hajsaleh
Director of Business Development at INVESP Business Services confirms: "As
businesses attempt to stay competitive by reducing their administrative costs, the
services of virtual assistants become more valuable. Small to mid size businesses
are discovering that they do not always need to hire full time support staff.
Instead, many businesses are choosing to outsource most of that work to virtual
assistant firms."

Not only is the increase in demand and interest for virtual assistants due to their
cost-effectiveness, but also to their overwhelming convenience. Virtual assistants
work from remote locations; which is saving employers more work space and office
equipment.

However, Hajsaleh warns: "Virtual assistance is a tricky industry because anybody
with a PC and internet connection can assume the VA role and career. Quality is
essential for a dependable service suite. Businesses should be weary of who they
are hiring."

Corporations, small businesses, real-estate agents, publishers, and more are all
opting to get their work done "virtually." This is just one of the many increasing
benefits of the internet today. Completing tasks via the web, at a reasonable cost,
has proven to be the latest trend.

INVESP is a business services company that offers administrative and writing/editing
services to help small to mid-size businesses compete effectively within the
marketplace. They hire only the most qualified professionals to get the job done.
