Resource Nation has leveraged our relationship with Experian, a global leader of information services, to assist in the prescreening of each vendor in our network. The prescreening process helps to reduce the risk of working with a questionable company and allows buyers to view detailed background information on each of the vendors in our network.
As vendors join Resource Nation's network, a search is done to identify the vendor in Experian's database. If a report is available, Experian® is simply verifying that the business was in good standing with its state business filing at the time the report was run. Vendors that have a full Experian report available will say "prescreened" next to the contact information with a link to the Experian report. The Experian report may include the following information: Resource Nation attempts to prescreen every vendor in our network, however, not all vendors may have a report available (E.g. a new sole proprietor may not yet have a report available.) Even after viewing a full report, it is recommended that buyer conduct their own due diligence before selecting a vendor. Resource Nation uses Experian as an independent third party to provide information on each of the vendors in our network (or to mark that a report is not available). Experian may not have all state filing information. Please check with the appropriate government agency for up to date information. While Resource Nation may view the additional information in the report and in some cases may exclude a vendor from its network, Resource Nation is not representing that the information in the Experian reports would qualify the vendor to perform the services requested by the buyer. Through the links provided by Resource Nation, buyers are able to purchase the full Experian report for $8/report or $29.92/report and perform their own due diligence to make a judgment on their own. Buyers agree not to rely solely on the Experian Reports or Resource Nation's pre-screening process when choosing a vendor and therefore hold harmless and release Resource Nation for any such claims. * In some cases the vendor's business phone number cannot be verified to match the number on a credit report. Purchasers are encouraged to purchase the full Experian report to perform their own background checks and identify verification. | Takes only 1 minute |
Quick Guide to Virtual Assistant Services
Why You Should Hire a Virtual Assistant
One of the latest trends in business today is the outsourcing of office related tasks to a Virtual Assistant (VA). A VA can be extremely cost-effective and can improve the efficiency of your business, which saves you time and money.
Imagine being able to off-load all those daily tasks that you just never seem to find the time for. Imagine not having to go through the hiring process and not having to pay the fees associated with hiring an employee. Imagine having a dedicated VA that you can count on to complete the assigned tasks, thus allowing you more freedom to concentrate on growing your business.
Hiring a VA allows you to cut down on employee costs; you can double your resources without hiring an employee; you can get a better quality of work since the VA runs their own business; you have no liability for common expenses like social security, medicare, and worker's compensation.
What a Virtual Assistant Can Do For Your Business
VA's can complete many different tasks; just about anything you can think of, they can do. Most VA's focus on office and secretarial type duties. Depending upon your needs and the skill level of the VA, you can have this person work on more technical tasks such as marketing and sales. Here is a short list of tasks that a VA can do for your business:
- Bookkeeping
- Billing
- Word Processing
- Data Management
- Website Maintenance
- E-Mail Management
- Internet Research
- Writing Reports
- Monthly Statements
- Invoicing
- Proofreading/ Editing
- Copywriting
- Scheduling/ Travel Arrangements
- Client Screening
- Mail Processing
- Sales
- Appointment Setting
- Event Planning

- Personal Planning (car service, household maintenance, etc.)
Questions to Ask When Selecting a Virtual Assistant
It's a good idea to talk with several different VA's to get a feel for the services they offer, the rates they charge, and how well you connect with their personality. Here are some sample questions to ask when interviewing potential VA's:
- What is your relevant background experience?
- Do you have any certifications?
- What programs and software applications are you trained in?
- Do you charge a flat rate per project or hourly?
- Do you charge a retainer fee?
- Is there a minimum amount of hours required per contract?
- Are you available for short-term and/or long-term projects?
- What services (general office, legal, real estate, marketing, website design) do you specialize in?
