There are pros and cons to the situation. I agree you may have to take a lower rate than what you would normally charge, but I also think it could add some valued experience to your business because you would be working with various types of businesses. Also, it could be a good way to make income while your building your business without being tied to a permanent 9-5 job.

It may not be for everyone, but it doesn't hurt to talk to them and see what type of deal you could work out. You don't have to accept anything. If nothing else you'll get some experience in negotiating.

Personally, I don't see how it is much different than doing sub work for another VA. When you do sub-work you accept a lower rate, because the contracting VA is making their cut too.
