Guide to Office Administration Services

As your business grows so does your need for office admin services
By Betsy D. Vanderslice

Small business owners try to handle all aspects of their business from office management and budget to secretarial services. Do yourself a favor and get some help with the basic office administration tasks so you can handle the more pressing needs in a timely manner.

One of the drawbacks of hiring help for office management is that it may mean a full-time salary with benefits that you just cannot afford at this stage in your business. Do not let that scare you. There are many ways to fill those clerical or managerial needs without breaking the bank. Think about these options before you pull your hair out:

1. In today's world, virtual office administration is a viable way to keep your office running smoothly.

2. You can hire a business office manager on a part-time or temporary basis to get your office up to speed so you can maintain it properly.

3. You are losing money managing an office yourself instead of managing your business.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Pay for office administration services on an as-needed basis Do not hire a full-time assistant if you only need occasional help. You will not be happy paying someone when there is nothing to do. Consider working with a virtual assistant company that can provide you with a trained professional to handle office administration services issues as they come up.

I recommend: Virtual Office Assistant charges fees on an hourly rate or on a project-by-project basis. Contact them for a free quote. Pay only for services rendered on HiredOffice.com.

Hire an office services administrator who can get you organized without being full-time Sometimes, the day-to-day operations of running a small business can get overwhelming. If you find yourself falling behind, consider hiring someone experienced at office management to help you set up a system to stay organized even after they've gone.

I recommend: OfficeTeam specializes in filling temporary office administrative and managerial staff. Enter your zip code to find the location nearest you. Kelly Services, Inc. also specializes in filling all your office staff needs from temporary to full-time.

Hire a part-time front office manager to handle the day-to-day chores You may desire to have someone on a more permanent basis, but still not want to pay full-time benefits. The best option for you may be a part-time manager or secretary who will be on-site a few hours a day to handle the daily tasks that take up too much of your valuable time.

I recommend: Adecco meets many of your staffing needs, including permanent, part-time help. Buy job postings on SnagAJob.com which helps those seeking part-time work find the perfect employer.
