Hire with Confidence

What is the process?
We shortlist trained virtual assistants matched to your requirements, coordinate interviews, and guide onboarding. Explore the four stages in Our Onboarding Process above. Ready-made templates and forms support you throughout hiring.
How can we help?
At Virtual Assistant Portal PH, we guide you through every stage of hiring to help you make informed decisions about VA roles, tasks, and pay.
We provide recommendations on appropriate hourly rates based on experience and role, with General Admin and Social Media VAs typically starting from £5-£6/hour. You retain full control over final compensation based on your needs and budget.
We also help define suitable tasks during selection and ongoing work to ensure the right fit.
With our Platinum Service, you receive tailored hiring support, candidate selection assistance, and full onboarding support as standard. We also provide ready-to-use templates, bonus structure guidance, and payment recommendations to simplify VA management.
Our goal is to make hiring and onboarding seamless so you can build a productive, long-term working relationship with confidence.
How much is it to get started?
£399 one-off. Lifetime access. No ongoing platform fees.
Getting started with Virtual Assistant Portal PH is simple, transparent, and built for long-term partnership, not short-term transactions.
For a one-time payment of £399, you gain lifetime access to our virtual assistant recruitment and support ecosystem.
What is included in the one-off onboarding fee?
- Lifetime access to hire virtual assistants: pay once and hire whenever you need, now or in the future.
- Multiple hires allowed: scale your team anytime, with one VA or multiple VAs.
- Free lifetime replacements: if a VA does not work out, we replace them at no extra cost.
- End-to-end hiring support: shortlisting, interview coordination, onboarding assistance, and ongoing support beyond hiring.
- Dedicated Partner Success Manager: your personal point of contact for replacements, additional hires, and ongoing needs.
VA working hours are paid separately. There are no recurring platform or membership fees.
VA payment and ongoing costs
Simple and transparent
Once your VA starts, you only pay for their hours worked and nothing more.
- Hourly-based payment: pay your VA strictly on an hourly basis, with a minimum of 10 hours a week.
- Payroll schedule: payments are made twice a month, on the 15th and 30th.
- Fully managed back-office support: our HR and Accounting teams handle payroll processing, time tracking, HR administration, compliance, and records.
Focus on growing your business while we manage the operations.
What payment options are available?

Why is there a no refund policy?
The £399 one-off fee provides lifetime support.
Even if you pause hiring, no longer need a VA today, or return months or years later, you never pay the £399 onboarding fee again.
You can always come back for:
- A replacement
- Additional hires
- Ongoing support
The fee is non-refundable because the support continues throughout your lifetime access, even when you pause hiring.
