Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide virtual assistant services near me?
Yes. We're based in Doncaster and cover businesses across South Yorkshire — including Sheffield, Rotherham and Barnsley. Because all our services are delivered remotely, we also work with clients throughout the UK. Wherever you are, we can support you.
I need a virtual personal assistant — where do I start?
Get in touch for a free, no-obligation conversation. Tell us which tasks are eating your time and we'll explain how we can help. Most clients find a couple of hours a week makes an immediate difference. We work on flexible hourly rates from £25/hr, or you can choose one of our prepaid monthly packages.
What's the difference between a virtual assistant and a traditional secretary?
A traditional secretary is typically office-based and employed directly, with all the associated costs. A virtual assistant provides the same support — and often a much broader range of it — working remotely as needed. With Absolute Secretarial, you get professional admin support without employment costs, desk space or long-term commitment. You pay only for the hours you use.
Do you provide HR support services for small businesses?
Yes. Our HR support is delivered by a CIPD Level 5 accredited team, making us an ideal HR partner for small businesses that need professional HR support without the cost of an in-house HR manager. We handle policies, procedures, documentation, minute-taking and ongoing HR administration. Find out more about HR for small business.
How quickly can you start?
In most cases we can begin within a few days of your initial enquiry. Get in touch to discuss your requirements and we'll get started as quickly as you need. Call us on 0333 577 3323 or send us a message.

Admin Support for Sole Traders & Trades
If you're a sole trader or run a trade business across South Yorkshire, the admin that eats your evenings and weekends usually comes down to the same handful of jobs. We take these off your plate — on an ad-hoc or ongoing basis, from £25 per hour — so you can get back to the work that actually pays.
Diary & appointment bookingYour diary kept up to date and appointments confirmed, so nothing gets missed and no one's left waiting on site.
To-do lists & prioritiesOne clear list of what needs doing next, instead of notes spread across the van, the dashboard and three different notebooks.
Data entry & paperworkInvoices, receipts and records kept up to date as you go — not saved up for a backlog on your one day off.
Chasing quotes & booking jobsPrompt follow-up on every quote you send, so more of them turn into work in the diary instead of going quiet.
Inbox & emailsA tidy inbox with enquiries and messages picked up and answered, so nothing important sits unread.
Chasing up leadsEnquiries followed up properly — not just once, but until you get a proper answer either way.
InvoicingInvoices raised and sent promptly after every job — not weeks later when you finally get round to it.
Chasing paymentsPolite, persistent payment chasing on your behalf, so you're not left waiting to get paid for work you've already done.
These sit across our existing virtual assistant and bookkeeping services — no need to sign up for more than you need. Pick the jobs that are costing you the most time.
