Why UK based VAs

Built for how UK businesses actually operate.

Offshore is cheap until the timezone, the language nuance or a data request breaks it. Our virtual assistants are UK based or UK hours aligned, briefed on GDPR and paid fairly.

UK working hours

Your VA works GMT/BST so meetings, replies and handovers happen in real time no overnight lag.

GDPR & UK-compliant

Contracts, data handling and NDAs written for UK law. Right to work checked, references verified.

Native English communication

Fluent written and spoken English so client facing work reads like it came from your own team.

UK account manager

A dedicated London based account manager owns quality, cover and escalations not a Slack bot.

FAQ

Virtual Assistants UK: questions, answered.

What is a virtual assistant?+

Are StaffNow's virtual assistants based in the UK?+

Yes. Every StaffNow VA is either UK based or works fully aligned to UK working hours (GMT/BST), with native English fluency and right-to-work verified.

How much does a UK virtual assistant cost?+

Plans start at £135/week for 10 hours per week, £200/week for 20 hours and £380/week for a full-time UK VA. There are no recruitment fees, and pricing is one flat GBP invoice per month.

What can a UK virtual assistant do for my business?+

Common tasks include inbox and diary management, travel booking, social media scheduling, email marketing, SEO support, blog writing, customer support, lead generation, CRM management, data entry, research and reporting.

How is StaffNow different from Upwork or Fiverr?+

Every StaffNow VA is vetted, backed by a UK account manager and covered by holiday and sickness cover. If your VA is off, we keep the work moving. No ghosting, no scrambling on freelancer marketplaces.

Do I need a minimum contract?+

No. Plans are monthly rolling. Scale up hours during launches, scale down in quieter months. Cancel anytime with 14 days' notice.

How quickly can my UK VA start?+

Most clients meet their shortlist within 3–5 working days and have their virtual assistant live in under a week.

Is my data safe with a UK virtual assistant?+

Yes. All StaffNow VAs sign a UK-law NDA, complete GDPR training and use secure password managers. We recommend 1Password or Bitwarden for credential sharing.
