Frequently Asked Questions

The average hourly rate for a virtual assistant in London is around £17 for general administrative tasks, with more specialized VAs charging between £30 and £60 per hour depending on their expertise. However, our Kickstart Plan offers 4 hours of dedicated support per day starting at £799 per month (around $999), while the Growth Engine Plan provides 8 hours per day plus access to 30 seats in our AI-powered office management platform for just £1,439 per month (about $1,799). That means you’re getting pre-vetted, industry-trained VAs for as low as £10–£11 per hour, a fraction of typical London rates.

Hiring a virtual assistant is simpler than you think. Start by sharing your requirements with our team, and we’ll shortlist assistants who fit your needs. You can review them, pick the best match, and get them onboarded - all within an hour.

Hiring a virtual assistant gives you the best of both worlds - flexibility and reliability. Unlike freelancers, VAs work as a dedicated extension of your team, offering consistent support without juggling multiple clients. And compared to a full-time employee, you save on hiring costs, training, and overheads while still getting high-quality, pre-vetted talent.

It depends on the level of support you need. With Wishup, you can choose flexible plans offering 4 or 8 hours per day, whether you’re looking for part-time help or full-time assistance.

A virtual assistant in London can take over a wide range of time-consuming tasks to help you stay focused on your core business. They can manage your inbox and calendar, schedule meetings across time zones, and handle travel arrangements with ease. They are also skilled in data entry, CRM management, preparing reports, and conducting market research. Some even support social media management, customer service, and bookkeeping. With the right VA, you can delegate most of your administrative workload and regain 3+ hours in your day.

At Wishup, our VAs come pre‑trained in 70+ industry‑standard and AI tools, so they’re ready to integrate into your existing systems from day one. They are trained on platforms like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Trello, Asana, and Zoom for day‑to‑day communication and task management. They are confident with CRM systems such as HubSpot or Salesforce, and automation tools like Zapier.
