When I moved into my new office premises in January of this year, I was no longer the traditional Virtual Assistant who worked from their home office. It was a quandary – did I still call myself a Virtual Assistant, a secretarial service, an admin support business or something else? I have decided to stick with the term Virtual Assistant as I feel it describes what I still do as the majority of my work. 

I am also local computer and office support for individuals and businesses in my area, but I also service them virtually, so I believe the term is still relevant. As I see it, I am merely adding another facet to my business by having a shopfront that people can come and physically meet me or hand over work. I still perform the work virtually (I don’t do onsite work) and in most cases can return the completed job via email. I think I have the best of both worlds.

Does anyone have any suggestions of titles to describe what I do? Perhaps Virtual and Personal Assistant (VAPA)?
