Before partnering with us, it's crucial to assess your needs and expectations. Reflect on where you need support—whether it's day-to-day operations, specialized projects, or specific job roles that you don’t have the capacity to take on. Consider if your business is currently aligned with your vision, and if you're prepared to share the reins with a trusted ally. Determine your budget for outsourcing services and think about the degree of involvement you seek, from internal support to client-facing representation. By considering these points, you'll set the stage for a fruitful collaboration with a provider who can seamlessly integrate with your business ethos and contribute to your growth. The next step is reaching out to us so we can create a solution based on your needs.
NOTE: It’s common not to know what you need help with! We get this all the time. So much so that we’ve actually created a page for it: Help! I Don't Know Where To Start!
If you feel generally overwhelmed and are sick of wearing all the hats in your business, schedule a call with us today.
We got you.
After taking a look through our services, kickstart the process by filling out the contact form here on our site. You will then receive a quick form to fill out which will give us a snapshot you, your business, and what you need support with. Then, as a united team, we will connect for an initial Discovery Meeting where we delve into your needs, current bottlenecks, and vision. We also discuss who we are, what we do, and answer any questions you have. A second meeting or business audit/consult is usually required to help us accurately identify appropriate services and workload capacity prior to proceeding with ongoing support.
We will then construct a plan tailored to your requirements. Once approved, we proceed with paperwork, solidifying our partnership through an agreement.
Next, you will be officially onboarded. Introductions are made to any required team members, we fine-tune workflows, set goals, and establish open communication channels. This ensures a seamless transition with each other's tools and work styles.
Throughout our collaboration, regular check-ins and decision-making sessions keep everything running smoothly. Monthly evaluations enable us to adapt as needed, guaranteeing effective outcomes for your business.
At our core, this process showcases our commitment to delivering a high standard of service and impactful results.
At the heart of our ethos lies the belief that each client and business is unique. We pride ourselves on developing tailored proposals for ongoing support that take into account several vital factors:
While some remote service providers offer structured monthly subscription models for ongoing support with fixed hourly rates, we take a different approach. We work collaboratively, meeting you where you are and providing a personalized quote that considers all the above variables.
We also offer Individual Services & Projects. These are designed to provide clarity and certainty for specific projects and tasks, ensuring you understand the investment required.
When you partner with us, you're not just getting a service, but a dedicated team invested in your unique success.
Deciding whether ElectricParasol is the right fit for your business hinges on recognizing your readiness and alignment with our unique approach to support and collaboration. We work with clients seeking an elevated level of support —those who are prepared not just to engage with us but to embrace a collaboration that enhances their operations through innovative and expert support.
At Electric Parasol, we are not just another service provider; we are specialists and business owners ourselves, dedicated to delivering a level of expertise that goes beyond the ordinary.
Our ideal clients are those who:
If these characteristics resonate with you, and you are seeking a collaborative team that transcends traditional support by fostering both personal and business growth, then Electric Parasol might just be the perfect fit. Reach out to us to discuss how our tailored approach can integrate seamlessly with your operations, propelling your business toward its vision.
We believe in quality over quantity, which is why we work with a select group of clients at any given time. Depending on our current projects, client commitments, and an assessment of your specific business needs, the timing to start our collaboration may vary. We may have a waitlist or recommend a start date that best aligns with your specific project, ensuring we can provide the highest level of service. Our approach is intentional—we focus on fostering meaningful partnerships rather than expanding our client base for financial gain. This ensures that we not only take on projects that are a good fit but also have the necessary resources and bandwidth to give each client the attention and tailored support they deserve.
Electric Parasol offers a broad range of services to propel your business forward, but there are specific tasks we do not cover:

Let's discuss your specific requirements to see how we can assist or direct you to trusted specialists within our extensive network.
Understanding the key distinctions between a Virtual Executive Assistant (VEA) and an Online Business Manager (OBM) can significantly impact how you delegate and manage tasks within your business.
Virtual Executive Assistant (VEA): VEAs primarily focus on administrative duties that support individual executives or teams. Their roles are both reactive - addressing needs as they arise - and planned - providing ongoing support for repetitive tasks or upcoming projects. Responsibilities of a VEA include:
VEAs are crucial in managing the flowing stream of day-to-day tasks, ensuring that executives can focus on higher-level strategic thinking and decision-making.
Online Business Manager (OBM): In contrast, OBMs take on a more expansive role that involves not just managing tasks but also managing the business's operational and strategic initiatives. OBMs are proactive, focused on:
OBMs are ideal for business owners looking to elevate their operations with a comprehensive approach to management, providing the guidance needed to scale and evolve the business effectively.
Choosing Between a VEA and an OBM: The choice between a VEA and an OBM depends on your business's current needs and future goals. If your requirements are mainly operational with a focus on administrative support, a VEA is suitable. However, if your business demands strategic oversight and comprehensive management to align various functions toward growth, an OBM would be the better choice. Both roles are designed to free up your time and allow you to concentrate on expanding your business rather than just running it.
The right support is pivotal in achieving operational efficiency and strategic growth, which is why we have developed an in-depth assessment and strategic plans to help monitor and achieve long-term success.
