How much is your time worth? Can you afford to be spending time doing your admin rather than focusing on growing and improving your business?
To support your business, we can help by giving you access to various skillsets on a flexible part-time basis. Providing professional support, completing tasks accurately in a timely manner, we can assist in a variety of back-office functions necessary to avoid loss of sales.
Additionally as we would not be a member of your staff, you do not pay the associated employee overheads (i.e. NI, Tax and Sickness which are estimated at being between 40% – 100% on top of the base salary) or need office space. So you get all the benefits of secretarial support without the commitment of hiring a member of staff.
