Hooray! We're CERTIFIED!

It’s official!  The Busy Buddy has been certified as a Small Business Enterprise with the City of Tampa! This certification makes our small business eligible to assist participants and events surrounding the upcoming 2012 Republican National Convention (RNC) being held in Tampa, Florida from August 27- 30th.   Not only are we able to support local commercial and government entities, but we can also provide virtual (remote) business support services that will continue our partnerships well beyond the convention!

The Busy Buddy is excited to be a part of this incredible experience and we look forward to assisting local businesses and visiting delegates, media and tourists!

Virtual assistance vs. Full-time office support

If you think you can't afford a virtual assistant, consider the costs of hiring an employee. The cost of a full-time employee may be more expensive than you think. Let's take a look!

​
A full time professional & business services employee hired at $27.53 per hour will incur a total compensation* of $38.53 per hour. This $11.00 difference includes leave (sick, vacation, holidays), supplemental pay (bonus, overtime), insurance (medical/dental), retirement & savings, payroll taxes (social security, federal, state) and workers compensation. Hiring a VA eliminates these expenses and provides flexibility because you can hire as needed!

With technology (telephone, computer, internet), a virtual assistant can provide administrative support remotely and effectively.
