What is a Virtual Enterprise?  VEs are independent professionals  who offer an array of administrative and personal support services.  As the name implies, work assignments and service deliveries are communicated "virtually"  through the Internet, fax, telephone, email, and other advanced technology modes. 

Because VEs are independent contractors, clients' do not have to pay taxes, insurance, or any fringe benefits.  There is no requirement for office space or equipment, and clients only pay for work performed.  Unlike temporary workers, VEs are entrepreneurs and have a vested interest in their clients' success because the engagement often leads to long-term relationships and referrals. 

Typically, VEs services include administrative support, bookkeeping services, concierge services, travel arrangements, desktop publishing, mailing services, sales and marketing support, payroll services, database management, event planning, grants research and writing, transcription services, and so much more.
