Kerinder – My Virtual PA
My challenge is to grow my business by 20% by the end of November 2013 through the art of delegation. I've always delegated, it's why I set up my first business in the first place: I needed a PA and couldn't afford one without sharing the cost. I've always believed...

"If I was setting up again now," says Rupert, co-founder of a £10m biz, "I'd do it all virtually". We couldn't agree more. You get a named Virtual PA, who is accountable for all work done for you but who is backed up by a small team (we recommend no more than two, but...
Do entrepreneurs work harder?
The Virtual PA Co service is engaged by employed departmental managers of big companies, but we also do work for many many entrepreneurs. For some we work so that they can go off and do more (sales, marketing, networking, business!). For others, we effectively run...
