With the knock on effect of swine flu and fear of the virus hitting businesses – do you have a contingency plan in place to deal with this problem?

Who looks after your business while you’re away on holiday?

Can’t wait for the holiday – dreading coming back to those mountains of emails?

How many times have you raced towards that well earned holiday, counting down the days, frantically making sure everything is sorted while you’re away? And then discover, on your return, your emails awash with junk, invites to every network event in the area and countless emails that need a reply now…

Would it put your mind at ease having someone whom you could trust to check your emails and reply to those urgent enquiries and put all your invites and non-urgent emails into a separate folder, ready for when you come back?

Would this take the pressure off and make your first few days back at work more manageable.

Knowing someone will take care of any business while you’re away, making sure no potential work or new clients get forgotten.

If you’re a small business, going on holiday is fabulous but can also cause countless issues and worries, especially if you are in your early years of start-up.

Having a professional virtual assistant to look after your day to day enquiries while you’re away leaves you to sit back and enjoy your vacation.
