Hiring locally costs more than you think. IR35 makes contractors complicated.

A full-time EA in the UK costs £40,000–£60,000/year plus National Insurance contributions, pension auto-enrolment, and 28 days statutory holiday. That's £55,000+ in real cost.

IR35 legislation has made hiring independent contractors increasingly risky. Many UK businesses face unexpected tax liability when HMRC reclassifies their contractors.

UK-based EAs expect regular pay reviews, benefits, and career progression — and will leave if they don't get them.

Managing a remote contractor yourself means no support when performance slips — and no replacement guarantee.

Recruitment agencies charge 15–25% of annual salary just to find a candidate.

VAConnect is a managed agency — not a staffing firm.

We handle matching, onboarding, training, performance, and retention. No employer liability. No IR35 risk. Just a dedicated EA who stays.

£18,000+ Average annual savings vs. a UK-based executive assistant

VAConnect clients pay $3,888/month (approx. £3,100). All-in. No NI, no pension, no holiday pay. Just a trained executive assistant dedicated to your business.

Your questions, answered honestly.

What if the VA does not work out? +

We replace your VA at no additional cost. If your VA is not performing to the agreed standard, we match you with a new candidate and manage the full transition — no fees, no friction. This is our guarantee.

How is quality controlled? +

Every VA is sourced through VAJobs.co.za, trained through VAVarsity.co.za, monitored for performance and wellbeing via Atomic Energy, and held accountable through VAPIness. We run monthly performance reviews and proactively flag issues before they become your problem.

How long until my VA is productive? +

Most clients see meaningful output within the first week. Full ramp-up typically takes 2–4 weeks. We build a custom SOP during onboarding so your VA has clear processes from day one.
