230. How Coworking Spaces Can Get (Really Great) Fractional Help Using a VA

There are three reasons that coworking spaces should think about using virtual assistants:

To grow your own coworking business or to make your own business more sustainable without adding another full-time team member.
To help your members do the same...and to help them to be more successful so that they can afford to continue to be members.
To consider offering a VA service to your members as an additional revenue stream.
