Why London businesses pick VAConnect over a London-based hire

A London-based EA at full cost — base, NI, pension, holiday, equipment, software, recruiter fee — typically lands at £55K–£75K all-in. A VAConnect Executive VA at full-day capacity is £2,888 per month — roughly £34.6K per year, fully managed, with replacement guaranteed. Same outcome, half the cost, none of the HR overhead.

For founders running 5–50 person businesses across professional services, fintech, e-commerce, agencies and tech — that gap is the difference between hiring one EA or a small team.

[vac_faq title=”London Virtual Assistants — FAQ”]
[q]Will my London prospects know my VA isn’t UK-based?[/q]
[a]Most don’t, until invited to. We pair every customer-facing VA with a UK VoIP number (London 020 prefix is standard) so calls show as London. The VA’s English is neutral, professional and trained on UK business etiquette. Most clients don’t surface the South Africa angle — they just get on with the work — but when they do, prospects react positively, especially given Tholons ranks South Africa as the world’s #2 offshore CX destination.[/a]

[q]Can I get a London VoIP number for my Sales or Customer Service VA?[/q]
[a]Yes. A London 020 number is typically £1–£3/month via Aircall, RingCentral or GoHighLevel. Calls connect to your VA in real time. We’ll spec the cheapest stack during onboarding.[/a]

[q]What’s the cost difference vs a London EA?[/q]
[a]A London EA at £45K base is approximately £62K all-in (NI, pension, holiday, sick pay, software, equipment, training, amortised recruitment). A VAConnect Full-Day Executive VA at £2,888/month is £34,656/year all-in — and we cover training, wellness, retention, sick cover and replacement. You’re saving roughly £27K per year while removing the HR overhead.[/a]

[q]Are your VAs comfortable in London-specific tools (Companies House, HMRC, FCA)?[/q]
[a]Yes — at the practical level. We brief on Companies House filings, HMRC quarter ends, FCA-regulated correspondence (where relevant), Bank of England press cycles. For specialist regulated work (e.g. compliance officer-level FCA reporting) we’ll match an EVA with prior FS experience — tell us on the strategy call.[/a]

[q]Can my London VA come into the office?[/q]
[a]Our VAs are remote — they don’t travel to London. But the working day is fully overlapped (GMT/BST aligned), so live calls, screen-shares and Slack are real-time. Several London clients have remarked the experience feels more present than their previous in-person EA who was off-site half the week anyway.[/a]

[q]How long until a London VA is up to speed?[/q]
[a]Week 1 — system access, voice calibration, recurring task ownership. Weeks 2–3 — proactive ownership of the work. Week 4 onwards — surfacing problems before you spot them. Most London clients hit “couldn’t go back” by week 6.[/a]
