FAQS
How do I know if my business needs an Executive Assistant?
Your business likely needs an executive assistant if you find yourself spending valuable time on administrative tasks instead of strategic activities. Key indicators include: struggling to manage your calendar effectively, feeling overwhelmed by email and correspondence, missing important deadlines or follow-ups, spending time on travel planning and meeting coordination, or finding it difficult to focus on high-level decision-making because of administrative distractions. If you're a business owner, executive, or entrepreneur who feels like there aren't enough hours in the day to handle both leadership responsibilities and administrative details, an executive assistant can transform your productivity and effectiveness.
How do I know if my business needs an Operations Assistant?
Your business would benefit from an operations assistant if you're experiencing growth challenges or operational inefficiencies that are holding you back. Signs include: inconsistent marketing efforts or lack of time to focus on business development, manual processes that could be streamlined or automated, difficulty tracking business performance and growth metrics, struggling to maintain consistent client communication and follow-up, feeling overwhelmed by the operational side of running your business, or recognizing that your business has growth potential but lacking the operational support to scale effectively. An operations assistant helps bridge the gap between where your business is now and where you want it to be by handling the behind-the-scenes work that drives growth.
What makes Very Good Assistants different from other virtual assistant services?

Our founder, Najwa Ahmed, has over a decade of experience helping businesses streamline operations and achieve growth goals through strategic administrative support. We work like a partner or business manager at a fraction of the cost of a full-time employee.
How long does it take for a business management consultant to deliver results or recommendations?
The timeline for seeing results or receiving recommendations from a business management consultant can vary depending on the nature and scope of the project. Some smaller projects may yield results in a matter of weeks, while larger, more complex initiatives may take several months to complete. The consultant should provide you with a clear project timeline and milestones during the initial engagement. It's important to note that the speed of results can also depend on how quickly the organization can implement the consultant's recommendations.
Can you help with one-time projects or do you only offer ongoing services?
We offer both ongoing support relationships and project-based services. Whether you need help with a specific initiative or comprehensive long-term support, we can create a solution that fits your needs.
How do you ensure confidentiality and data security?
We maintain strict confidentiality protocols and follow industry best practices for data security. All client information is handled with the utmost discretion, and we're happy to sign additional confidentiality agreements as needed.
