Contestant's Case to Win

This is based on the number of votes received and does not reflect the quality of the business.
I believe I have a great innovative and recession proof business formula.

A Second Office is a Multi-Virtual Assistant business which is positioned to relieve the burdens of businesses and save them money by working as an independent contractor to fill their needs. According to the Small Business Administration, all small business owners spend at least 40% of their time on administrative tasks and up to 60% on non-revenue producing tasks. A Second Office takes on those non-revenue producing tasks, allowing the business owner to concentrate on revenue-generating tasks to continue to grow their business and bring in income.

A Second Office has been offering top notch Executive Support and Business Management Services for over six years.

We are innovative in our approach to offering our services. Unlike a solo virtual assistant who might offer one or two niche areas, we have a Team which offers a wider selection of services. Our Team includes, but is not limited to:

+ Office Manager
+ Executive Assistant
+ Paralegal
+ Bookkeeper
+ Sales & Marketing Associate
+ Website Design & Maintenance
+ Event Coordinator
+ Travel Assistant
+ and more.

A Second Office is your one-stop business solution.

With the current challenging economy and the higher costs of running a business, business owners are trying to find creative ways of lowering their overhead without sacrificing the quality they expect. More business owners are realizing the advantages of outsourcing. Whether the economy is in a recession or not, my clients always save money because when hiring A Second Office, the client is not responsible for:

+ Payroll taxes
+ Workers' Compensation
+ Sick and holiday leave
+ Medical benefits
+ Training and the cost of hiring the wrong person
+ Equipment
+ Office space

Our business is a recession buster because the client pays only for time on task. We work only when the client needs us, so they are not paying for idle staff to socialize around the water cooler, browse the internet, or take care of personal issues.
