Our Business Managers (aka OBMs) work closely with our clients to understand their business, their goals and to develop strategies to reach them. Our Business Managers prepare project briefs, compile policies, develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) and offer guidance and direction to our team of professional administration assistants and sub-contractors.

Our virtual assistants (VA) are the doers. They are administration professionals who completes their work online, generally from their own home office and under the guidance of our Business Manager. Our VAs provide a reliable solution to everyday tasks, without the commitment or overheads of an employee.

Online Business Managers (OBMs) are planners and managers. Our Business Managers excel in understanding your 'big picture' goals, developing strategies to help you reach them and then manage the team (either our VAs or your own employees) to get you there. Virtual Assistants (VAs) are the doers. A VA is generally task-oriented, they take on specific tasks and progress them to completion, usually under the direction of an OBM or the business owner. Here at IVY Business Services you get both! For clarity, if you were to think about OBMs and VAs as a retail business then the VA would be stocking the shelves, and the OBM would be managing the store, forward planning inventory and ensuring sales targets were reached.
