What a great article this was. -- Although we are years down the road from the beginning of this discussion, I am very interested in assisting other VA's with their work overload. I am having a slow go at expanding my business and have been working majority with personal friends who own small businesses. Is there anyone out there who has any information or knowledge of a VA looking to subcontract? Any input would be great! Thanks!

Great article packed with valuable info. Thanks for sharing!

What a great thread. I am just getting my business off the ground and having 32 years experience working as a legal secretary in the UK I wish to specalise in this area. My start up has been slow because I am on a very limited budget and need to do things as and when I can afford it. I would be very interested in networking with other VAs as I wish to offer web design and book-keeping amongst my services but do not really have enough experience in these areas (although I do have a good basic knowledge of book keeping and am studying this more at the moment). I will probably start off with mainly transcription and word processing work. When my business is up and running I will be able to look forward to networking with other VAs especially those in the UK.

Why in the world would she do something so low down? And what court system actually allowed her unemployment in this type of situation? This is why some VA's are hesitant to give their overflow to other VA's wow I am really at a lost for words. How dare she!

Hi Rita - your article is very interesting as I started out wanting to start my own staffing agency. After reading many posts, articles and having discussions with friends, I'm more interested in outsourcing a lot of services but do not want to officially have a STAFFING COMPANY. So thanks for explaining they would simply be subcontractors.

Hi Rita,

Could you point me in the direction of where to go to offer my skills as a subcontractor? I have been in business for 2 years and now I have the opportunity to do it full-time, gung-ho.

I would also like more information on accepting more subcontracting work. I'm the sole provider in my family and it's been a long year!!
My goal is work steady at the billable rate of 20 hours per week starting now.

Thank you! Stephanie
