Business Support / Lifestyle Management

Whether you are a corporate client in need of occasional or structural support, or a busy professional requiring occasional or one-off support (for instance to help arrange certain aspects of your private life), YVA can offer you services suited to your specific needs.

Examples of Business Support / Lifestyle Management Support Services that YVA may be able to offer you:
  • You are a busy professional who would like to delegate (administrative, practical) tasks in your private life to others, leaving the limited free time that you have for you to enjoy as leisure time; YVA may be able to do these tasks for you, or arrange for someone to do certain tasks for you (such as helping you find a cleaner for your home, call a service to pick up and drop-off your dry-cleaning, arrange for a handyman to execute essential repairs in your home, or book a shopping delivery to stock up your fridge).
  • You require services outside 'standard' office hours, for instance because you conduct a lot of your business outside these hours, because you travel a lot (and want someone to answer your calls while you're on an aeroplane, or perhaps want an assistant who adjusts their working times to the ever-changing timezones you're in), or because the nature of your business requires someone to work overnight to process everything generated from the 'past' working day and prepare everything in time for the start of the following day); YVA endeavours to be available truly 24/7.
  • You require temporary cover for your PA who called in sick or is on leave; YVA may be available at short notice.
  • You require temporary support in addition to the regular support from your PA (e.g. during major business event, for one-off mailshot, or during sudden surge in workload); YVA may be able to 'step in'.
  • You require regular support, but not enough to warrant hiring someone permanently and full-time; YVA could provide you with the flexible solution you need.
  • You require business support, but do not have the space or budget for an office, desk, PC, et cetera; YVA provides support from a fully equipped home office.
  • You are considering hiring permanent support, but don't exactly know yet whether you require someone full-time or part-time, and for what tasks exactly; YVA can cover temporarily, registering time and activities, for you to eventually have better insight prior to recruiting someone permanently.
  • You require support on temporary / fixed-term projects (of any kind, personal or professional); YVA can provide this type of ad hoc support.
  • You want support on a specific (sensitive) project not to be done by an internal employee (for risk of information leaks); YVA can provide the assistance professionally, without getting personally involved.
  • You are an independent professional who would like occasional assistance on preparation and/or finishing of your projects, so you can remain focused on your core business; YVA's preparation could involve research for or drafting of your copy, while finishing could involve proofing, editing, and formatting.
Based on your requirements, YVA can offer you services charged per hour, per day or per activity (see Rates section), but is open to negotiations on fixed-price projects.
