Virtual Assistant Services for Singapore Businesses
Singapore firms face tight local hiring and high office costs, and many small companies run regional work out of a very small team. Time zone is on your side here: India is only two and a half hours behind, so a VA works almost the same day as you do.
Virtual Assistant Capital gives Singapore businesses one dedicated, vetted VA who works remotely on your tools. We have no Singapore office and our VAs are not based there: they are professionals in India. You get a free shortlist of 2–3 VAs within 72 hours, interview them yourself, pay nothing until your VA starts, and pay one flat monthly fee in US dollars, month-to-month.
What your VA takes on
- Founders and regional heads: inbox, calendar across Asia-Pacific time zones, travel and meeting prep.
- Professional services firms: client intake, document chasing, proposals and billing admin.
- Ecommerce sellers: listings, orders and customer messages on Shopee, Lazada, Shopify and Amazon.
- Real estate salespersons: listing admin, buyer follow-up, viewing bookings and CRM upkeep.
- Startups: investor updates, hiring admin, CRM upkeep and operations support.
- Accounting support: organising records in Xero or QuickBooks for your accountant to review.
A typical week
- Monday: the week's calendar and priorities confirmed; anything from the weekend actioned.
- Daily: inbox, follow-ups and the recurring tasks you handed over.
- Midweek: CRM upkeep, invoicing support and document chasing.
- Thursday: research, reporting or a project you assigned.
- Friday: a written weekly summary of what was done and what needs your decision.
Tools they work in
- Workspace: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, WhatsApp Business
- Finance: Xero, QuickBooks, Dext
- Ecommerce: Shopee, Lazada, Shopify, Amazon Seller Central
- Sales: HubSpot, Pipedrive, your own CRM
The bright line
ACRA and IRAS filings, payroll sign-off and regulated work stay with you and your corporate secretary or accountant; your VA prepares, organises and follows up. Personal data rules, including your PDPA obligations, are agreed with you before any access is given, and your VA works only inside your systems. Plans are priced in US dollars; your card or bank converts the monthly fee.
Singapore hours and your VA's hours
| Your business hours | Same hours in India (IST, UTC+5:30) |
|---|---|
| Singapore 9:00–18:00 (SGT, UTC+8) | 06:30–15:30 |
| A later overlap: your 10:30–19:30 | 08:00–17:00 |
Neither country changes its clocks, so this stays the same all year. Many clients choose the later overlap because it is a standard daytime shift in India.
Signs it is time
- A local admin hire is hard to fill or to justify.
- Regional calls fill the day and the inbox waits.
- Marketplace orders and messages pile up.
- You need someone online when you are.
What it costs
Flat monthly plans, one dedicated VA: Essentials $899/mo (20 hours a week), Executive $1,599/mo (full-time) and AI Manager $2,599/mo (full-time, AI-fluent).
