When you find Virtual Assistant work through Virtual Assistant International, payment arrangements are made directly between you and the company or client you work with.

Virtual Assistant International does not collect, process, or distribute payments for work completed between Virtual Assistants and businesses.

Agree on payment with the client

Before starting an assignment, you and the client should agree on the payment terms.

This can include:

  • Your hourly rate or fixed project price

  • How and when you will invoice

  • The payment method

  • Payment deadlines

  • Any other payment conditions

Make sure these arrangements are clear before you begin working.

You invoice the client directly

As a Virtual Assistant, you are responsible for arranging your invoices directly with the company or client.

The exact invoicing requirements can depend on your country, business structure, and local regulations.

Choose a payment method together

You and the client decide how payments will be made.

The available options can depend on where you and the client are located. Always agree on a payment method that both parties can use before accepting an assignment.

Virtual Assistant International does not handle your payments

Virtual Assistant International provides the platform where Virtual Assistants can discover opportunities and businesses can find Virtual Assistants.

We are not a party to the financial agreement between you and the client.

We do not set your rate, send invoices on your behalf, collect money from the client, deduct commission from your earnings, or pay your earnings to you.

You keep control of your payment arrangements

Because payments are handled directly between you and the company, you can discuss your own rates and payment conditions with each client.

Always make sure you understand and agree to the payment terms before starting any work.

Virtual Assistant International helps connect Virtual Assistants with opportunities. The actual work agreement, invoicing, and payment are handled directly between the Virtual Assistant and the company or client.
