Executive VA support — without the IR35 headache.
No employer NI. No holiday pay. No gap cover stress. Just a dedicated VA who handles the daily load — fully managed by VAConnect and built to stay.
Quality at scale through our AI-driven backend and Boiler Room screening.
Hiring locally costs more than you think. IR35 makes contractors complicated.
A full-time EA in the UK costs £40,000–£60,000/year plus National Insurance contributions, pension auto-enrolment, and 28 days statutory holiday. That's £55,000+ in real cost.
IR35 legislation has made hiring independent contractors increasingly risky. Many UK businesses face unexpected tax liability when HMRC reclassifies their contractors.
UK-based EAs expect regular pay reviews, benefits, and career progression — and will leave if they don't get them.
Managing a remote contractor yourself means no support when performance slips — and no replacement guarantee.
Recruitment agencies charge 15–25% of annual salary just to find a candidate.
VAConnect is a managed agency — not a staffing firm.
We handle matching, onboarding, training, performance, and retention. No employer liability. No IR35 risk. Just a dedicated EA who stays.
VAConnect clients pay $3,888/month (approx. £3,100). All-in. No NI, no pension, no holiday pay. Just a trained executive assistant dedicated to your business.
