"Michelle is a breath of fresh air in a sea of everyone wanting to upsell you. I loved working with Michelle. She made my ideas come to life and helped me appreciate the work I had already done - self taught! My vision has come to life and with love, laughter and skill Michelle helps small business without breaking the bank. She is professional, efficient, and a kind and caring person".

"OMG Thanks goodness for Michelle McGarvey of Small Business VA. I have been trying to get my website fixed for nearly 2 days (I had fiddled with something in the background that I shouldn't have...) with the webhost support and no luck. Michelle jumped on and literally had it fixed for me within 10 minutes. And this isn't the first time she has helped me out of a jam with her absolute brilliance. Michelle built my website for me months ago and I LOVE it so much. She knew what I wanted when I didn't really know what it was that I wanted. She nailed it. I just can't recommend her services highly enough. Always gets things done so professionally and in such amazing time. I can honestly say that Michelle exceeds my expectations every time. Thank you Michelle".

"I have been lucky enough to know Michelle through many years of friendship. She is incredibly passionate about her work and has innate passion to just get on with things, quietly and without fuss. Recently I presented a challenge to Michelle in which I needed her expertise, with gusto it was accepted and delivered with outstanding results, reaching far beyond my expectations. Where my challenge exceeded her knowledge, without hesitation Michelle sought industry expertise and advice. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her brand grow and evolve, I feel she is now poised for only greater things.
Michelle (Small Business Virtual Assistant) again I thank you….."

Michelle is hugely approachable, reliable and really goes the extra (100!) miles to get the job done!
I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone seeking support in their business - whatever it is - Michelle will provide you with an effective solution!"

"I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough. She has gone out of her way to set me up working with the right person as what I needed was beyond her scope of service. I have never yet worked with her or paid her one cent. Yet she made enquires and connected me with the right person. Michelle clearly leads from her heart which is a breath of fresh air in our busy, crazy world. I’m sure that all her work is done with similar passion and care factor! Thank you Michelle. You are one in a million!"

"Recently I worked with Michelle McGarvey of Small Business VA to get my new website designed and up and running. To say I’m happy with my site would be an understatement. Michelle really listened to what I was hoping for and absolutely nailed it! I LOVE my Five Foot Rope website and Michelle made the whole process so easy and such a pleasure. Michelle’s attention to detail is amazing and the ideas she comes up with are always outstanding. Her work ethic is second to none and I look forward to working with Michelle again in the future. Thank you Michelle. My site is so much more than I could’ve imagined"

***Brilliant Customer Service****
I run a small business and needed support ASAP to fix my WIX website. It was something trivial, but something that was holding me up in taking the next step forward. I reached out to Michelle, from Small Business VA and she was able to fix it for me. No stress, no drama, it just got done! After trying to fix it myself (for two hours) her warm manner and clear communication style, made me feel at ease.

"Michelle is expert at helping small business owners with their projects and administration, so they can focus on their core business. Working with Michelle, I saw someone intelligent, diligent and solution focused. With her wealth of experience working for nemerous organisations across Australia, New Zealand, Italy and the UK over the past 20 years, I've heard many people share than Michelle's backing of the businesses that lack the resources to hire a full time person has been vital to reducing stress, freeing up of time and a genuine benefit to their business. Because everything is task oriented, you only pay for the hours you need, when you need them -plus, she's genuine and a hoot. You'll love working with her!"

It has assisted immensely with communicating and showcasing our centre’s activities with parents and has also been a fantastic communicative tool for sharing relevant early childhood articles for our parents.

We have had nothing but positive feedback from having our page accessible for families and our community. Michelle’s bubbly and warm personality has been such a pleasure to work with.

"I have used Michelle’s services previously (see below) so knew exactly what I was in for when I booked her for a consult again this week. Great clarity, insightful and purposeful in the task, I believe Michelle to be a pivotal point of difference for any small business. Highly recommended - 5 stars
I have recently met with Michelle for a business consult - it was great for me to be able to outline my desired result and for Michelle to bounce around ideas, give practical input and offer achievable suggestions. It was a great brainstorming session for an upcoming project and I was able to walk away with a very ready to go ‘to do’ list. I feel Michele really listened and took on board my limitations and stumbling blocks and was still able to show how to manoeuvre a way forward. Would recommend her services, I will be using them again!"

Organising a meeting with Michelle was the best investment I made for my small business. I walked away with a clear plan for my upcoming business launch. Michelle is a wealth of information. She is extremely easy to talk to, she listened to all my goas and was able to put forth a plan of action for the launch. My mind is now at ease knowing I have Michelle in my corner. I am really looking forward to working with her. Highly recommend Michelle's services for a small business. Thanks Michelle!

"I have been having difficulties with setting up my web page in making it relevant and impactful. Michelle was able to very quickly assess it and made some suggestions, drafted her ideas and shared those with me in a very short period of time. I have to say, made a whole lot of difference. She not only provided me with the suggestions but coached me in how to set it up, provided some key tips based on her experience and provided some constructive feedback. Thank you, Michelle, for being such a great support to me and my business. You have been an absolute gem to work with!!!"
