I’m Erin, a virtual assistant in Cheshire, and these are my three packages.

Honey Bee is five hours a month from £160, Worker Bee 7.5 hours from £240, and Queen Bee ten or more from £320. Every one is pick-and-mix, whether you’re a freelancer or running a small business.

So, you can choose your hours, choose your services — professional VA support that adapts to your business priorities.

Honey Bee Package

5 hours | Starting from £160 per month

Perfect for: freelancers and small business owners who are sick of doing all the things themselves, and ready to hand over the tasks that eat up way too much brain space (yep, the ones keeping you up at night 😴).

5 hours of flexible support each month. Pick and mix from my services based on what’s top of your list and yes, you can swap it up each month if your priorities change.

This covers: Email Management, Digital Marketing, Content Creation & Management, Admin + Business Support, Technical Support and Accounbility.

Great for: photographers, graphic designers, copywriters and other creatives just stepping into the “I can’t keep doing everything myself” stage — and small businesses taking their first step into outsourcing.

Don't just take my word for it…

Erin & Bizzybee have been essential to the growth of my business over the last year and I would recommend them to anyone. Erin is diligent, positive, friendly and helpful and always gets everything done on time and at an incredible speed. She organises me when I'm too busy to think! I also recommended Erin to another business and I know she was instrumental in their huge growth last year too. An all round superstar - thanks Erin!

FAQs

You ask, I answer

How much does a virtual assistant cost in the UK?

Mine start at £160 a month for five hours, £240 for 7.5 hours and £320 for ten or more.

Rates across the UK vary a lot depending on experience and what’s involved, but anyone quoting suspiciously little is usually cutting a corner somewhere.

What happens if I need more hours one month?

We sort it. If you’ve got a launch, a busy season or a project that blows up, tell me and we’ll add hours for that month or move you up a package.

Nothing is locked in — the point of these packages is that they bend around your actual year.

Can I change which services my hours go on?

That’s the whole idea. One month we might spend the lot rescuing your inbox; the next it’s newsletters and website tweaks. Your priorities move, so mine do too. No renegotiating and no change fees — just tell me what’s urgent.

Am I tied into a contract?

You’ll get a proper agreement so we both know where we stand, but you’re not signing your life away.

If it isn’t working, we can stop. I just ask for 1 months notice to get my ducks in a row and then you can leave, but I am sure you won’t want too
