Default Re: How did you come up with the name for your virtual assistance company?
These stories are so interesting and I love seeing your creative minds at work.

I was employed as an executive secretary for many years and this was even before the term 'personal assistant' was widely used, and I guess I still have old fashioned ideas. I wanted to incorporate the word virtual as to me it represents being there for a client but not exclusively theirs; I wanted the old fashioned secretary word rather than personal assistant for similar reasons and I wanted online in the name somewhere to really hit prospective clients between the eyes that even though I am operating a business from a remote country area, in this wireless age I am readily available.

It's not an exciting or catchy name, and I don't have a tag line yet, if ever, but the domain name was available and the business name was available so I went for it, now I am in the process of doing my logo and stationery items.
