We supply the person and the management You get a named assistant or a team, a lead who supervises the output, documented procedures written from your own way of working, and reporting you can check.

Frequently asked

What is the difference between this and hiring a freelancer?

You are hiring a team and its management, not one person. Your work is documented, a lead supervises the output, quality and volume are reported, and a second trained person covers holiday, sickness and turnover. If someone leaves, the process stays, because it lives in the documentation and the team rather than in one person's memory.

Which industries do your teams already work in?

Construction and trades, security and manned guarding, health and medical practices, property and real estate, peptide and supplement sellers, e-commerce, logistics, insurance, legal and finance. In most cases we are matching your process to people who have run the same process elsewhere rather than training it from scratch.

Can you provide one assistant, or does it have to be a team?

Either. A dedicated full-time assistant, part-time hours, a shared pool for overflow, or a small squad combining roles such as an assistant, a data entry specialist and a CRM administrator. We also provide a single expert for one specific skill when that is all that is needed.

Do you work in our own systems?

Yes. Your CRM, project tool, helpdesk, accounting system, portals and drives, using accounts you control and permissions you set. We do not require you to move to anything of ours.

How is the work checked?

Procedures are written from the way you actually work, then output is sampled against them. You get activity reporting, quality and volume figures and a regular review, and the documentation stays yours whether or not we continue.

Can the team cover our working hours?

Yes. Cover can follow United States, United Kingdom, European, Middle Eastern, Australian or Asian business hours, including after hours and weekend cover where the work needs it.
