Banks' Business Solutions

I started my own business, Banks’ Business Solutions, back in 2014 to achieve a better work/life balance. Having started from the ground up and made many mistakes along the way, I’m now in the position to be able to help you avoid the pitfalls of running an online business, or simply how to save time when implementing new software and processes.

I began my journey as a virtual assistant here in Derby so I could work from home while using my previous career experiences and training to support other business owners. Over the past 5 years I’ve become an accredited VA, built a strong reputation being reliable and good at what I do and grown my business from being me working alone to having a team of associates behind me.

When I started Banks’ Business Solutions in 2014, the term virtual assistant was relatively unknown in the UK. Over the past 5 years I’ve spent working within the VA industry, I’ve realised that it has become a bit of a “catch all” term for anyone working virtually from home to assist someone else with a task, but that most virtual assistants provide administration services.

In 2018, I realised that the term “virtual assistant” didn’t fit me anymore.

I still work virtually but I provide consulting services to my clients first and foremost, and then I can train you how to take care of things yourself or take on some of the online business tasks for you. That’s why you’ll find me creating WordPress websites, creating sales funnels and email subscriber lists, and providing 1-2-1 training on popular software like Canva, MailChimp, WordPress and InfusionSoft.

I simplify the technology you use in your business to save you time.

When I’m not working, you can usually find me with my husband and children spending as much time as possible in our local Derbyshire countryside, my favourite place Aberdaron in Wales, or being a digital nomad and travelling the world! Yes, really - we took 3 months out in 2018 and are hoping to get away again really soon!
