VA

Virtual Assistant

Definition

A remote freelancer who handles administrative, operational, or repetitive tasks, allowing founders to focus on high-value, high-leverage work.

Why it matters

Hiring a VA is often a founder's first delegation step. At £10-20/hour, a VA can free 5-10 hours per week from low-value admin, enabling growth work that generates far more per hour.

Example

A founder hires a VA to manage her inbox, schedule social media posts, and respond to standard enquiries. She frees 8 hours per week and uses the time to build a new revenue stream.
