For a business to flourish it has to continue seeking newer ways of cutting costs and improving work efficiency even if that means stepping outside its business terrain and seeking out a ‘new workforce’. Hiring a virtual assistant is one such enticing proposition and an idea which has hit big time across many industry verticals.

A Virtual Assistant is a professional assisting you in routine administrative and similar tasks via the internet, someone who is not exactly a real employee but no way lesser in terms of efficiency and output. So what is the difference between the two?

A valid question which brings us to some of the following benefits of hiring a virtual assistant
