Is Your Business Ready for a Virtual Assistant?

Rachel Crow • March 31, 2025

Thinking about hiring a VA, but not sure if it’s time? Here’s how to tell if you're ready to delegate — and what to hand off first.

If your to-do list is growing faster than your business, you’re not alone.
Hiring a virtual assistant can be a game-changer — but many business owners wait too long, unsure of what to delegate or whether they’re “big enough” yet.

The truth? You don’t have to be overwhelmed to benefit from support. You just need to be busy enough that you’re spending time on tasks that aren’t the best use of your skills.


Here are a few signs you might be ready:

✅ You’re spending more time on admin than strategy
✅ You dread your inbox
✅ You’ve dropped a ball or two (no shame!)
✅ You’ve said, “I just need a second me.”
✅ You’re losing track of follow-ups or project pieces


Where to Start

You don’t have to hand off everything at once. Many of our clients begin with:

  • Inbox triage and calendar management
  • Permit or property research
  • Client follow-up templates
  • CRM cleanup
  • File or task tracking systems

The Bottom Line

Hiring a virtual assistant isn’t about being fancy — it’s about being smart with your time. If you’re doing $45/hour tasks while trying to build a $450/hour business, it’s time to shift your workflow.
