What this means – and why it matters if you're thinking about hiring a VA
If you’ve ever outsourced work to a VA or thought about it, you may have come across the Society of Virtual Assistants (SVA). They’re the UK’s largest and most respected organisation for virtual assistants, and they’ve been setting professional standards since 2005.
But what does it mean to be SVA approved? And why should you care?
What Is the Society of Virtual Assistants (SVA)?
The Society of Virtual Assistants was created to protect both clients and VAs. Their mission is simple: raise industry standards, ensure data protection compliance, and help businesses find reliable and professional support.
To become an SVA approved virtual assistant, a business must meet clear, strict criteria:
Be a legally registered UK business
Hold professional indemnity insurance
Be GDPR compliant and registered with the ICO
Publish clear and transparent pricing
Run a professional and fully functional website that outlines services
This approval is a signal of trust and professionalism, helping clients feel confident when choosing a virtual assistant.
Why SVA Approval Matters for You
Working with an SVA approved virtual assistant gives you the peace of mind that your business is in safe hands. It means you're working with someone who takes their role seriously, follows best practices, and is committed to protecting your data.
At iAssist, it also means:
✅ Secure, GDPR-compliant systems
✅ Clear and flexible pricing packages
✅ A legally registered and insured UK business
✅ Personalised support that fits your goals
✅ Bilingual services in English and German
✅ Industry experience in SaaS, e-commerce, real estate, and professional services
Whether you need help with inbox management, CRM support, content scheduling, or customer service, you're getting more than task execution. You're getting a trusted partner who understands your business.
Our Commitment at iAssist
Being approved by the SVA is part of our broader mission at iAssist: to offer high-quality, reliable, and efficient virtual assistant services that genuinely make a difference. It’s not just about ticking boxes. It’s about building long-term relationships with clients who value trust, clarity, and consistency.
