Let’s schedule a no-obligation consultation. You’ll speak business owner to business owner.
Once we’ve understood your needs and budget, we’ll propose the best solution for your unique case. Our flexible packages help entrepreneurs and established organizations focus on growing their businesses. We have also prepared a Starter package for the professionals and businesses who want to try out our service without committing to a monthly plan.
You don’t have to worry about that. All of our remote specialists have the hardware and software necessary to help you.
You set the rules. Use your preferred communication channel and agree with your expert on the frequency of getting in touch or creating reports and status updates. If you need our advice in this area, feel free to ask. We’d be happy to help.
We ensure all of our experts have the highest regard for any type of information they receive or access about your business (not just the sensitive data). Their contracts have confidentiality clauses, but we can also discuss signing an additional NDA, if you deem it necessary. At Houston & Ko, we take privacy and security very seriously and enforce decisive measures to secure all our clients’ data.
Yes. All of our virtual business support specialists are dedicated, experienced, tech-savvy,
resourceful, and discrete human beings who can help you with a wide range of services.
Part of the value we are providing is that we take care of selecting a perfect candidate for you.
Our pre-vetting and selection processes are designed to match you with the expert who will be the best fit for your business needs and goals. However, if you, for any reason, don’t agree with the selection, we welcome candid communication and are always happy to work towards a solution that meets your needs.
We’re there for you. As this should be a comfortable and stress-free engagement, we encourage you to let us know why you feel things haven’t clicked. Then, we work to implement your feedback (and also the remote expert’s) to find a solution. If you still feel things aren’t
working out, we sit down and work hard to find a better match.
Our Starter Package is specifically designed to act as a trial package. You don’t need to have a specific plan of action in mind, the pay-per-use package lets you explore different levels of the positive impact our specialists can have on your business. You don’t have to subscribe or even pay anything upfront! Once you’re more familiar with all the ways our remote experts can help your business grow, you can easily scale to a different package.
Absolutely. Get in touch with us today, tell us about the scope of work you’re looking to delegate and your budget, and we’ll create a fully custom package to achieve your exact goals.
If you sign up for any of our Hourly Packages, you can simply carry all unused hours over to the next month at no extra charge! Also, if you need to increase the number of hours during the month, just let us know. These will be charged at the end of the month at a standard rate of CHF 59 per hour.
We understand that businesses today often have to be able to quickly adapt and react to whatever the market throws at them. That’s why we’ve made our pricing packages outstandingly flexible. With a month’s notice, you can scale your package up or down, and you can do it as many times as you need to!
Strengthen your team with the leading remote experts.
