Who is Your Support Partner?

Small Business is a term we hear so much about, but how many of us truly appreciate the meaning of small business? Where would so many of us be without it? Service providers offering essential goods and services are often small business owners and you will find them in just about every community in Australia.

All business owners face challenges, but it is often the small business owner who is hit the hardest. Cashflow, essential resources and staffing costs are the main contributors, but there is a solution to ease some of the financial burden. We have all heard of the term “Outsourcing” and a number of businesses do it, but many small business owners don’t consider outsourcing to its full advantage.

Are you a one person operation and often find yourself working IN your business as opposed to working ON your business? Small business owners should be carrying out the work that generates income for their business, but many are chained to the daily admin grind which is often reflected when they are faced with a cash flow crisis.

Kylie Lewis of Callcoop Business Support offers services such as bookkeeping, databases, typing, spreadsheets and so many other services to support small business. I am not your employee, but your support partner. With staffing costs consuming approximately one third of turnover for some businesses, my associates and I provide superior support services enabling small business owners to amalgamate staffing requirements. I have access to a wide variety of resources, a seasoned professional with over 20 years experience and can relieve small business from the ongoing costs incurred by Superannuation, Leave Entitlements and PAYG expenses when carrying staff. My services are completely tax deductible in Australia and only invoice for the actual time spent working on your tasks.

Callcoop Business Support offers outsourcing solutions in back office and secretarial support to all business regardless of its size or structure; however it is the small business owner who is going to benefit most. So many small business owners often require support staff on a “needs only” basis, however often employ staff because they are not familiar with the options available when using an outsourced service.

My associates and I offer a cost effective service where small business has the option to use as much or as little of the services on offer. Whether you require ongoing services 1 hour each week or only require assistance on a one-off basis, I can assist you. You may have support staff that are snowed under and just require another set of hands for the day. No task is too large or too small. Contact our office on +61 2 8003 6845 or visit www.callcoop.com.au. Free yourself from the daily admin grind.

Nothing Ventured - Nothing Gained

What exactly is it that a virtual assistant does?

There are so many tasks that we carry out whether it be personal assistance when it comes to helping out with family life, or business related tasks, such as keeping your books up to date, typing correspondence, data entry, email marketing, juggling the boss’s schedule. The list is endless. Business in particular generally shy away from using Virtual Assistants in this country because they are afraid to use the many services on offer as they don’t understand the benefits of engaging such a service. Do you know if you are a small business, you could be saving yourself a fortune on staffing costs by utilising an Australian based Virtual Assistant? I bet you also didn’t know that Virtual Assistants are always up to date with the latest technology and have high speed internet access and can deliver your work in a timely manner thanks to countless hours of training they engage at their own expense to ensure that YOU - the small business owner can fully utilize their expertise.

Last week, I spoke with a number of business owners about the potential savings they could be making within their small business. Many of them were surprised to learn that by engaging external assistance with office related tasks, they may be in a position to reduce the amount of office space they are paying for and reduce the amount of technology and office furnishing they purchase to keep their business running. That’s just a couple of savings, not to mention the benefits of having an individual contractor working for you and supplying a legitimate Tax Invoice for the work that you have engaged them to carry out. Last week there was so much media discussion about the proposed increase in employer Superannuation contributions. Employers may be paying 15% as opposed to the current 9% at some point in the near future. Increased Superannuation and compulsory paid maternity leave will cripple some small business owners.

Virtual Assistants are highly skilled professionals. They come seasoned with many years of experience and usually have experience across many industries. The Virtual Assistant industry is absolutely booming in America and it is booming in Australia as well. I bet you didn’t know that many Australian Virtual Assistants provide services to so many small business owners in the USA. Once again, thanks to technology, we are able to flourish on a global platform and so many of us do.

Don’t be mistaken and think that using a Virtual Assistant won’t work for your business because you need to physically see your assistant every day. Yes, unfortunately that is the mentality of a lot of business owners. This is not the case. You can engage thhttp://www.callcoop.com.au/e services of a Virtual Assistant and still be able to maintain face to face communication.

NOTHING VENTURED – NOTHING GAINED!! Open your mind to this wonderful industry and start seeing the benefits and experience the financial reward it can offer.
