First of all, you’ll want to look for a good professional website. Not sure what I mean? Think about walking into a store. You want things to look bright, clean and fresh. You want to see the stock put away. When you look at a VA’s site, you want to have that same feeling. The website is his or her store.

Sometimes, having affiliations with VA groups – whether it’s the Chamber of Commerce in their city, or a VA community online – can signify that the Virtual Assistant is here to stay. But, because there is no formal accreditation process in place, a VA who bears the badge of a formal training process doesn’t necessarily guarantee that you’ll be receiving a top-notch professional. It’s still going to take some leg work to do your homework.

Doing a quick Google search on the company should bring up some information as well.
