Behind the Scenes VA

Promoting the power of delegation and collaboration: BTSVA is an Inverness based virtual assistant service providing a tailored combination of personal and professional assistance to start ups, small businesses and the self-employed across The Highlands of Scotland and beyond.

We offer all the benefits of an assistant, without the financial implications of an employee. Work is undertaken either on an hourly rate, or at an agreed cost for curated packages of service. This, compared to a traditional employee setup with a salary, NI, PAYE and pensions, as well as additional office equipment, can save you both time and money.

Perhaps you’re already an employer and you just need an extra set of hands during holidays, or peak season – get in touch with team BTSVA to see how we can help fill-in and pick up the slack.
