Cybertary(TM), Inc. Helps Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses Become More Successful Despite the Economy
First Virtual Assistant Franchise Now Available in the U.S.
ROSEVILLE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--In this time of New Year's resolutions, many businesses are
resolving to avoid layoffs by curtailing unnecessary hiring. However,
at the same time, many small businesses are flourishing due to their
ability to be more nimble than their corporate competition. With such
advantages comes the desirable problem of plenty of business, which
leads to a concern of how to manage it all effectively. Cybertary is a
franchised network of professional Virtual Assistants (VAs) who
collaborate to provide "on-demand" administrative support and
specialized services to independent and small business owners, and
serves as a solution for business owners determined to improve their
business profitability and keep hiring conservative. Cybertary is now
available as the first Virtual Assisting concept franchise in the
U.S., setting the standard for the booming industry. Cybertary will be
one of the franchisor exhibitors at Franchise Expo South January 11-13
at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Booth 213. People interested in
the Cybertary franchise system can speak personally with the founder
and learn more about the business opportunity.
While helping business owners focus on profit-making activities,
Cybertary also helps them avoid layoffs. According to the U.S.
Department of Labor, there has been a steady increase in the number of
mass layoffs across the U.S. since 2005. October 2007 had the highest
number of mass layoffs since October 2005. By using Cybertary as
supplemental staff for special projects and unexpected activity, as
opposed to hiring permanent staff, business owners can protect their
workforce. When workload reduces, they can simply reduce the use of
supplemental staff, not the size of their permanent workforce.
With entrepreneurism on the rise, Cybertary's diversely talented
team collaborates to provide small businesses with reliable support
tailored to increase productivity and decrease non-revenue producing
tasks. The tech bust in 2001 forced many thousands of talented workers
and executives to explore independent business options, and, according
to the U.S. Census Bureau, there has been consistent annual growth of
1% nationally in the development of new businesses each year since
2001, with more than 6 million new businesses opening each year. In
part due to uncertainty, large corporations are no longer the trend in
the U.S. and, according to Kathryn Kobe of Economic Consulting
Services, as quoted in the SBA's Office of Advocacy's Report to the
President, "...small businesses account for half of private, nonfarm
gross domestic product in the U.S."
Resources such as Cybertary have emerged just in time to support
these entrepreneurs and small business owners. The failure rate for
new businesses is about 50%, likely due to new business owners not
seeking the right resources to make their businesses successful. Small
firms total approximately 23 million in the United States, but roughly
75 percent have no employees, according to the Small Business
Administration. That means many small business owners are out there
trying to "do it all." Increasingly, Cybertary and other professional
VAs are growing in popularity since they relieve business owners of
the bookkeeping, data entry, marketing and other tasks so they can
focus on their clients or take time off. Cybertary clients save time
and money, paying only for time spent on task without the burdens of
payroll and overhead.
While small businesses thrive and the popularity of VA businesses
rises, Cybertary franchise owners are supporting a variety of
businesses and finding great success in their investments. "I am
excited about the diversity in my increasing client base," says Tracy
Phipps, Cybertary unit franchise owner in South Charlotte, North
Carolina. "Almost any business can benefit from partnering with
Cybertary. I help contractors, financial planners, authors and even a
tortilla factory grow their business while I build my own."
Valerie Dow and Tina Angell are the Cybertary regional franchise
owners in Sacramento, California. "In just six months we increased our
client base, expanded our team and more than doubled our revenue,"
explained Dow. "Running a successful, professional business from home
has been more rewarding than we anticipated. It's the ideal business
model for those who want a flexible work schedule and competitive
wage."
"It is my mission to provide this opportunity to career-minded
administrative professionals who either wish to leave the corporate
world and build their own home-based business or maximize their
professional experience as a Cybertary team member," explained
Cybertary founder and President, Patricia Beckman.
