Ever wondered if your business is paying too much for tasks that could be handled in just a few hours a week? At VA Evolve, we help growing businesses uncover the hidden costs of hiring and show how virtual assistants (VAs) can save both time and money—without sacrificing quality.
The Real Cost of a Full-Time Hire
Hiring a full-time employee involves far more than just their salary. For example, an administrative role in Singapore can cost:
- Gross salary: SGD 3,000–4,000/month
- CPF contributions: 17% of wages for employees under 55
Medical benefits, insurance, leave entitlements: SGD 300–500/month - Training & onboarding: SGD 1,000+ in the first few months
This means a full-time hire can cost your business SGD 4,500–6,000 monthly before they even start contributing to growth.
According to the Ministry of Manpower Singapore, the average monthly wage for administrative employees in 2024 is around SGD 3,600, excluding benefits (stats.mom.gov.sg).
How VA Evolve Can Help
At VA Evolve, we provide trained VAs who take care of time-consuming tasks like email management, scheduling, customer support, and social media posting—at a fraction of the cost of a full-time employee:
- Basic Plan: SGD 400 for 20 hours/month
- Premium Plan: SGD 750 for 40 hours/month or SGD 1,450 for 80 hours/month
- Custom Plans: Tailored solutions for businesses needing dedicated or specialized support
That means even our most flexible package (80 hours/month) costs just around 25–30% of a full-time hire’s monthly cost—with no CPF, medical, or insurance obligations.
You pay only for hours worked, and your VA is ready to start immediately with full support from our team leaders.
Beyond Cost: Time and Growth
A VA from VA Evolve doesn’t just save you money—they free up your time so you can focus on growing your business. Businesses that delegate operational tasks effectively grow faster, with reports showing 30–50% higher growth rates for companies that streamline their workload【source: Enterprise Singapore】.
When a Full-Time Hire Still Makes Sense
Some roles require deep institutional knowledge, face-to-face interaction, or handling sensitive data. But for most growing businesses, VAs offer high-quality, flexible support that’s both cost-effective and scalable.
The VA Evolve Advantage
By choosing VA Evolve, you gain more than just support—you gain freedom, flexibility, and accelerated growth. Why pay more for a full-time hire when a trained VA can deliver results immediately?
