Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right business support is an important decision, so it’s natural to have questions.
Clients ask me these questions most often. To learn more about the business support services I provide, please visit my Services page. However, if you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’ll be happy to help.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes! Your initial consultation is completely free and without obligation. If you’re local to Chesterfield, I’m happy to meet face to face. Alternatively, we can chat by telephone or online using Microsoft Teams, Zoom, WhatsApp, FaceTime, or another platform that suits you.
We’ll use our initial consultation to discuss your business, your requirements, and how I can best support you.
How do your Rates & Packages work?
Since every business is different, I offer flexible support options tailored to your individual requirements. Whether you need help with a one-off task, a specific project, or ongoing business support, we’ll discuss your requirements and agree on the most suitable package for your business and budget.
What is a retainer package?
A retainer package allows you to reserve a set number of hours each week or month, giving you guaranteed access to my services when you need them most.
Retainers are usually paid in advance and can be arranged as either a monthly payment or a recurring payment schedule.
If your requirements vary from month to month, I also offer flexible pay-as-you-go support, so you only pay for the time you use.
What type of business support do you provide?
My services are completely flexible and tailored to your requirements. I can provide executive assistance, administration support, project management, event management, financial administration, human resources support, office management, and much more. Whether you need help with a one-off project or ongoing business support, I’ll work with you to find the right solution.
Do you work remotely or on-site?
I primarily provide business support remotely from my office in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, using secure cloud-based systems and modern collaboration tools.
However, if you require on-site support or would prefer to meet in person, I’m happy to travel where appropriate. As a result, I can offer a flexible service that works around your business.
How quickly can you get started?
Timescales vary depending on your requirements. I can sometimes begin supporting clients within a few days. However, larger projects may require a little more planning. Together, we’ll agree a realistic timescale that works for both of us during our initial consultation.
Do I have to commit to a long-term contract?
No. Whether you need support for a one-off project or ongoing business assistance, I’ll recommend the most suitable option for your requirements. My aim is to provide flexible support that grows with your business.
Is my information kept confidential?
Absolutely. I treat client confidentiality with the utmost importance. Therefore, every client agreement includes a confidentiality or non-disclosure clause where appropriate.
I’m registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) under the Data Protection Act 2018 (registration number ZA484590), giving you added peace of mind that your information is handled securely and professionally.
Why should I outsource my business support?
Outsourcing your business support allows you to spend more time growing your business while I take care of the day-to-day administration. As a result, you can improve productivity, reduce overheads, and benefit from flexible professional support without employing additional staff. Whether you need occasional assistance or regular support, outsourcing gives you the flexibility to adapt as your business grows.
How does it work?
We begin with a free consultation so I can understand your business, your goals, and the areas where you need support.
We’ll discuss how you prefer to work, your communication preferences, any technology you use, and the tasks you’d like me to manage.
I’ll recommend the most suitable package before providing a clear proposal, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Once you’re happy to proceed, we can get started.
For further information please see my Terms and Conditions.
