CRITERIA FOR ALL LEVELS OF MEMBERSHIP

Membership in Elite Office Support's worldwide listing is free, but you MUST meet the membership criteria in order to become and remain a member. This is a community built for virtual professionals and is intended for dedicated people who want to build their businesses. There are no fees for membership, only that you meet the following criteria:

• You MUST have an actual business. Do NOT submit your application unless your business is already open. No "opening soon" or "coming soon" applications are accepted.
• You MUST have a website. In today's world, putting up a basic website that will provide you with a conduit to potential clients is extremely important. If you do not currently have a website, but have actually opened your business, and you want a temporary website, click HERE for information on how to get a basic website and domain name for only $25 for a year.**
• Absolutely no under construction sites. When you list here, your site is open to the world. Potential clients will not come back if your site is under construction; they will simply find another VA who is prepared for them already. If your site is under construction, simply wait until it's ready to submit your site.
• You must maintain a professional standard of integrity as a professional virtual assistant/professional.
• Absolutely no one with any links to or adult content on their site will be accepted. Period.

**We are now offering a basic one-page subdomain site for those who do not have a website to help those who do not have the resources to get their website up immediately for a basic fee of $25.00. The template is here - no variations are available at this time. This website will be good for one year only at which point if you do not have your website ready, you will be removed from the directory until such time as you do. Email for details on this option.
