Oh my...
I would probably do the same, even I hadn't such lesson. Who owns business usually acts differently- they care about their business reputation and try to do the best, as it is not "I have no job at the moment, so, I'll try to be VA" case.
I do not have office, but I can show documents that I own and manage my company.

Thank you for sharing your story. And good luck with your multi-VA team
