Hi just a quick hello. My name if Fiona and I am in the process of starting up my VA business. Prospective name is Busi Home Services (registration pending). I have been working in IT for the past 10 years and am keen to offer my services in document preparation and many other office and IT services to small businesses. I have a partner who runs a small business and he gave me the idea to market this out to our other friends in the same boat. I never realised just how big the VA world is. Thanks to sites like this one, it's not so scary anymore.

Hi Fiona, glad to have you here Thanks for taking the time to register and share a bit about yourself.

As you can see you're in excellent company here, so make yourself at home and take advantage of all the site has to offer.

I wish you much success in reaching your business goals!

Hi Fiona,
Welcome to VAF. Thank you for sharing some information about yourself. I am new to the VA industry too. I was very nervous about setting up at first, but have found this forum so helpful and supportive that I am now totally excited about everything. I wish you all the best in your new venture.

Hi Fiona! Great to see another aussie here on the forums!
I'm from adelaide and just getting my business off the ground.
Good luck and welcome!

Welcome Fiona!

Yes the VA world is big! I had no idea when I first read about it 10 years ago that it would be this huge, what was I thinking should have taken the plunge then but hindsight is 20/20 of course, not to mention I wouldn't have known what to do then either, LOL! It's great that you have incorporated the IT world. My husband is military but specializes in IT it wouls be wonderful if we could both be VAs once he retires. Anyway, welcome aboard!
