Since 2005, the SVA has provided resources, networking opportunities, support and advice for aspiring virtual assistants, those looking to grow their businesses, and clients seeking virtual assistant services.

Raising awareness, promoting best practice and supporting the UK Virtual Assistant industry
The Society of Virtual Assistants was formed in 2005 by a group of 7 Scottish virtual assistants who wanted to improve the reputation of the industry – it quickly blossomed into the largest organisation for UK based VAs with nearly 6,000 members. Our aim is to help virtual assistants set up and stay in business by encouraging and supporting one another whilst promoting best practice in the VA industry.
Being run by actual VAs rather than those who get their income from coaching or specialist services, we’re able to give real advice about issues that frequently crop up.
