General Administration
At Business Solutions we deliver complete business support services to clients. Often our clients want the benefits of a dedicated PA or office assistant without the full income & benefit package required.
We strive to be different and we think outside the box.
Whether you need data entry, social media, content development or your website updated regularly we do it all.
Our team members identify ways to streamline tasks and make processes more efficient, saving you time and money.
Governance Administration
Having an experienced governance secretary helps your board be more efficient and allows board members to be actively engaged in meetings without the concern of writing the minutes.
The secretary is responsible for reviewing and updating documents, meeting your reporting obligations and ensuring all documents are safely stored and readily accessible for inspection by directors and/or members.
We currently assist several boards with their governance requirements.
Contact us now to learn more about how we can assist your board toward better governance.

A project administrator is responsible for carrying out the administrative functions for projects and events.
They are responsible for managing, directing, controlling, and supervising projects and events.
We have or are currently assisting many organisations with the running of their events or projects.
Big or small, our team is highly experienced in project administration and events.
How do I know this service is right for me?
Most, if not all, of the world’s most successful businesses wouldn’t be where they are today if they didn’t have the support of administrative professionals.
At Business Solutions we focus on the needs of the client to ensure we find the best solution to the problem, anticipate your needs and take initiative instead of having to be told what to do.
1. How will I know if I need an administration assistant?
Congratulations, by visiting this site you have already recognised that you need some assistance managing your business or organisation.
Often the admin in your business gets pushed to the side in favour of ‘getting the job done’. If you fall too far behind it’s hard to catch-up leaving you tired and stressed.
If this sounds like you contact us today to see how we can help.
2. Will your mobile admin service come to me?
We provide our services in person or virtually, the choice is yours.
We are happy to work on your site or a mix between onsite and virtually.
You have the option to have us onsite so please let us know if this option is preferred.
3. As a virtual assistant how will you manage communications with me?
We recognise time is money.
Every businesses need is different. Our team assesses what communication strategy best works for you. It may be a regular update via email or if you prefer to communicate on Zoom or the phone we can do that too.
We try to schedule time with you to have a catchup in person to make sure everything is on track.
You have the option to have us onsite so please let us know if this option is preferred.
4. Why should we use your service instead of an employee to fill the Administration role?
Employing a contractor vs hiring an employee takes all the stress out of managing employees.
There are no additional costs when employing a contractor and it is easier to work out your budget costs for the year.
Our team is very experienced in management and we start by doing an audit of your systems and processes finding efficient solutions to problems, saving you time and money and allowing you to ‘get on with the job’.
