What Is a Personal Assistant Business?
A personal assistant business is a company that supplies business executives with administrative assistants. Rather than do general clerical work, personal assistants work directly with business supervisors or managers to help keep them organized and updated. Personal assistants must have good communication and computer skills. A personal assistant business is often small and run by one person. At least in the start-up phase, most personal assistant businesses are started and managed by an individual who personally assists new clients. As the personal assistant business grows, the company is likely to keep adding assistants as needed. The number of workers needed often depends on whether most of the personal assistant assignments are short or long term.
