  • Episode 19: From Solo VA To Agency Owner, The Pros and Cons

    Ever thought about becoming a VA agency owner rather than a solo VA? This week, Lisa and Kirsty talk about the pros and cons of both. Lisa Tennant successfully scaled her solo VA business into a virtual assistant agency but it hasn't all been plain sailing. 

    Kirsty remains a solo VA whilst working as an assistant and account manager for Lisa's agency, L.T. VA Services and gives her own insight into the issues she faces as a solo VA, and behind the scenes of what it's like supporting an agency owner. 

    One of the most thought provoking aspects of this episode, is thinking about what to do with your business if you want to sell it, or, if you become ill or injured and are unable to work, something that's going to be discussed in the next VIP Access membership: https://morethanava.org/masterclasses
