Press Release Summary = Many small businesses fail to thrive due to a combination of
limited financial resources and inadequate staffing. Virtual Assistance may be the
solution to the problem and Xpress Assistant is spreading the word to the local
small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Press Release Body = Kirstie Freimuth has recently launched Xpress Assistant, a
service to help local businesses and entrepreneurs thrive! The problem faced by many
small business owners is twofold: there are not enough hours in the day to handle
all the responsibilities that come with owning a business and hiring a staff can be
costly. Enter Xpress Assistant (http://www.XpressAssistant.com), a member of the
fast-growing industry known as Virtual Assistants. A virtual assistant (VA) is
defined as a highly skilled, professional, independent contractor who provides
administrative and creative services to businesses and individuals anywhere in the
world on an as-needed basis utilizing today's technology. It's the job of a VA to
deal with those responsibilities that the business owner, for whatever reason,
cannot.

So why hire a virtual assistant instead of an employee? The bottom line is reason
enough. The average base salary for an administrative assistant is upwards of
$30,000.00 per year. Add to that the additional 30% that is employee related
expenses - taxes, insurance, bonuses - and you're looking at a rather costly
expenditure. A virtual assistant is paid only for the time worked, saving your
business thousands of dollars per year.

According to Freimuth, an additional benefit of a VA is the range and level of their
skills. With over 15 years of experience, Freimuth provides a wealth of services
from the more common administrative tasks to the more specialized such as legal
billing and basic web site design. "To speak frankly, it's my goal to help my
clients make money and look good," says Freimuth. "I've seen so many small
businesses fail despite the quality of their service or product and I'd like to
remedy that. I can provide the skills that they or their staff might be missing and
I can handle those administrative duties they just don't have time for. My services
allow them the freedom to do what they do best - and I can do it all from my own
office which reduces overhead costs for my clients."

You don't have to be a business owner to take advantage of a virtual assistant. Like
many other virtual assistants, Xpress Assistant also offers Personal Assistant
services such as appointment scheduling, travel arrangements - even a reminder
service! "Everyone can use a little help," says Freimuth. "Whether you're a
stay-at-home mom, a working mother or a busy executive." Virtual assistants operate
on a schedule geared to their clients needs and most provide flexible billing
options - by the hour, by the project or monthly retainer- meaning that there's a
solution available for everyone.
