While traditionally virtual assistants have been thought of for the very small businesses, the cost cuts from the recession may mean that larger businesses would appreciate some kind of regular/occasional relationship as their secretarial/PA services are stretched thinly. One thing on the contract, be careful. I refused to work with one VA when I read the contract because it was so one sided. All about what I would do as the client and very little about what commitment to service I would receive or what guarantee I would receive if things didn't go as expected. While your proposal forms the basis for your ongoing working relationship, it is still a selling document. Good advice Chris for what is an important service.

I like your idea of putting everything in a legal and formal perspective. I must say that this will put some credibility to your name and the services you provide. And this also gives you an option of expanding and probably in the long run creating your own team than just working on your own.
