Can You Afford Not to Outsource?

The Real Cost Isn't Just Money? 

When people think about outsourcing, they often focus on cost.

But the real question is: What is it costing you not to get support?

  • Time spent on tasks you don’t enjoy

  • Energy drained by admin

  • Evenings lost to emails

  • Growth slowed because you’re stretched too thin

Those costs are harder to measure but they’re very real. 

Why Many Business Owners Choose a Virtual Assistant 

Hiring a VA gives you support without the commitment of employing staff.

You don’t need to worry about:

  • Contracts or payroll

  • Sick leave or holidays

  • Office space or equipment

  • Managing workload during quieter periods

Instead, you get flexible support that adapts to what you actually need.

More Than One Pair of Hands 

When you work with Griffin VA, you’re not relying on a single person.

You’re supported by a team with processes in place, shared knowledge, and continuity built in. That means:

  • Work doesn’t stop if someone is unavailable

  • Tasks are covered efficiently

  • You’re not dependent on one individual

Everything is documented, organised, and handled professionally behind the scenes.

So...Is Outsourcing Worth It?

For many business owners, the answer becomes clear when they realise:

  • Their time is better spent on strategy, clients, or growth

  • Admin is slowing them down

  • They don’t want the responsibility of hiring staff

  • They want support that fits around their life

Outsourcing isn’t about giving up control.
It’s about creating breathing space.

Final Thought

You don’t need to do everything yourself to be successful.

Sometimes the smartest move is recognising when support would make things lighter, clearer, and more sustainable.

Transparent Pricing with Griffin VAs  

For a 35-hour contractual week, an employee's true cost to an employer is approximately £25.67 per hour. This accounts for NIC and pension contributions for 214 working days a year, assuming 6 hours per day.

At Griffin VAs, we track all work meticulously. Each task is logged and timed precisely, ensuring you only pay for the time we dedicate to your tasks. Our pricing is transparent, with a minimum 10-hour contract per month, eliminating any unwelcome surprises.

Office Space and Facilities: A Hidden Expense

Returning to the employee, consider the expenses associated with providing facilities. Office space, desks, ergonomic chairs, refreshments, stationery, training, insurance, and utilities - these all come at an additional cost. While the specifics may vary, it's evident that our hourly rate, when examined alongside the comprehensive expenses of employing an office-based worker, is more reasonable than it initially appears.

At Griffin VAs, we come prepared with our own infrastructure - computers, phones, insurance, and office space - and we even cover our own tea. We are a team of dedicated professionals, utilising our expertise to efficiently deliver high-quality work.
