The winner of an Australian Micro Business Award is typically a successful, innovative new business that is looking outside of the square for new business ideas. Last years recipient of the Best Home-based Business category is no exception.

Meryl Hunt is the accredited manager of successful Web PA operation Business Extras Online. "Web PA?" I hear you ask. A Web PA is a person who acts as a casual personal assistant for your business. He or she simply helps when necessary, but does not hold a permanent position within the company. All of the assigned tasks are completed by the PA at his or her home or office and is updated online. Nowadays, your PA can live on the other side of the world and still have that report to you by 8:00 am sharp.

Business Extras Online can handle a range of business operations on your behalf, freeing up time for you to manage core business activities. They offer general administrative activities such as word processing, bookkeeping, event management, desktop publishing, writing and editing, but that’s not all. In fact, for just about any business service, from accounting to technical writing to graphic design and marketing, Business Extras Online have you covered.

There are many advantages to hiring a Web PA. Small businesses now have access a large variety of executive level services, traditionally only affordable to large organisations with a lot of money to spend and a staff of hundreds. Contracting a Web PA means that you don't need to worry about wasting money on overheads such as taxes, superannuation, sick leave and holiday pay. Small businesses no longer need concern themselves with buying equipment and expanding office space to house a regular PA.

The time has come when the owners of many small to medium size business can have all of the benefits of an in-house PA, without the excess costs and dramas. A flexible new alternative is available in the form of a Web Personal Assistant. The only thing they cannot do is make you coffee…

Visit the Business Extras Online website and look into a Web PA for your business.
