Every career has its hazards and Virtual Assistance career is no difference. Before deciding to become a VA, studying the advantages and disadvantages of the career should be supreme. Focus of this write-up is to consider the very first advantages you start gaining immediately you start your Virtual Assistance business.


A big advantage of being a VA is that you operate at your convenient location, be it a designated office or at home. This implies, you do not encounter the stress of searching for conducive
location or building for your business. The inconvenience of searching for a building that would be accessible to customers and other issues faced with locating a business premises is eliminated.  The big word is “at your convenience”. This goes a long way in relaxing you and keeping you in the right frame of mind to face other issues that come with the work. Still with the convenience, you do not have to dress in conformity with any work situation; your dress code will strictly be determined by you, as you are the master of yourself and might not necessarily be meeting your clients personally.  This is different with the known regular official jobs. The resultant effect is that at the end, you may have saved money for renting an office apartment, saved money which would have served for changing your wardrobe and so many other things including hassles of transportation which would have been put into consideration if you had taken up a paid official job.

            Another point to be considered is the time factor: working from home gives you the ample opportunity to take care of some other issues in the home front. The availability of time at your disposal gives you the chance to help your spouse in taking care of the house and most especially for young parents, it gives you the time to interact and supervise the kids as you also achieve your goal in attending to your customers.
