How AI Is Empowering Small Businesses — and How We’re Helping You Harness It

AI isn’t just for tech giants anymore — it’s becoming a game-changer for small business owners too.

At Libra VA Services, we’ve embraced AI to help our clients streamline their admin, finance, and project work — combining smart tools with real human know-how.

Here’s how we’re using AI every day to make business life easier:

🗂️Admin & PA support — Tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot help us draft documents, summarise meetings, and manage inboxes more efficiently.

📅 Scheduling & communication — Motion and Clara.ai use AI to coordinate diaries and meetings, saving hours of back-and-forth emails.

📊 Finance & reporting — Platforms like QuickBooks Smart Insights and Fathom use AI to analyse spending patterns and forecast cash flow in minutes.

🎯 Marketing & content support — Canva Magic Studio and Jasper AI help us (and our clients!) create visuals, posts, and newsletters that look professional — without the big-agency price tag.

🗂️ Project & event management — Notion AI and ClickUp Brain help us track tasks, automate reminders, and create action plans in a fraction of the time.

But while AI can work wonders, it doesn’t replace the human touch.

It enhances it.

Our team combines these tools with real experience, empathy, and attention to detail — ensuring that everything we do still feels personal and perfectly aligned with your business goals.

If you’re curious how AI could save you time and help you scale, let’s have a chat.

As you ease yourself into the autumn term, the calendar is filling up with event requests....

Planning an event is exciting, but it often comes with countless moving parts — from logistics and scheduling to guest communications and tech support. That’s where we can help.

As your Virtual Assistants, we provide end-to-end event support to ensure everything runs smoothly, whether it’s a webinar, workshop, conference, or company celebration.

Here’s what we can take off your plate:

✅ Event planning & scheduling
✅ Vendor and venue coordination
✅ Guest communications & RSVP management
✅ Timeline and logistics oversight
✅ Tech support for virtual events
✅ Post-event follow-up & reporting

With the details handled, you can focus on connecting with your audience and achieving your event goals.

If you have an upcoming event and could use an extra set of hands (and eyes on the details), let’s connect — we’d be glad to support you.

Here at Libra VA Services, our Co-Founders are taking it in turns to ensure we get a summer break after a really busy summer season!

Lou is fresh back from a week in Devon with her small family and managed to fully switch off so batteries are recharged to take me into the new school year.....

Have you managed to switch off this summer?

Back-to-School, Back-to-Business 🎒💼 (Almost!)

It might still be August, but September is just around the corner — bringing fresh routines, renewed focus, and the final push before the end of the year.

At Libra VA Services, we know the post-holiday catch-up can hit hard. Emails, projects, and to-do lists pile up while you’re enjoying summer BBQs or seaside escapes. 🌞

Here’s how to get ahead before the September rush:
1️⃣ Tidy your inbox now – Archive, delete, and prioritise so you’re not drowning in emails come autumn.
2️⃣ Review your calendar – Block time for your biggest priorities before it’s swallowed by meetings.
3️⃣ Delegate early – Offload admin now so you can hit the ground running in Q4.

Think of August as your warm-up lap — a chance to set yourself up for a smoother, more productive September.

And if you’d like a hand getting business-ready while you soak up the last of summer? That’s exactly what we’re here for. 💼✨

📌 Libra VA Services – Giving you time back to focus on what matters most.

School is out for summer and most of your team have their out of office on.....

A lot of small businesses are feeling the pressure of having multiple team members (yes including sub-contractors and freelancers) deciding to take the whole month of August off. Your business shouldn't have to suffer when emails and phone calls are going left unanswered...

Libra VA Services can plug the gap in temp recruitment cover to keep the cogs turning in your business. Whilst your OOO is on, you want to be confident you are not missing out on following up on potential leads and replying promptly to urgent emails.

This month, businesses are thriving more than ever and are certainly not operating in holiday mode. Organised CEOs are getting their house in order before the chaos of the autumn term.

If you need to plug short-term gaps, you know where we are: https://www.librava.co.uk/

🌟 Exciting News! Meet Emma Osborne the Newest Member of the Libra VA Services Team! 🌟

We’re thrilled to welcome Emma to our growing team at Libra VA Services! 🎉

With 8 years of admin/PA experience and 7 years in project management, I know my way around a system — and exactly how to fix the ones that aren’t working. From scheduling mayhem to spreadsheet wizardry, I thrive on turning business chaos into smooth, efficient processes.

My Labrador, Frank, firmly believes he’s the CEO of my home office (and honestly, he might be right).

Fueled by good coffee and an ever-growing love of Portuguese and Mexican treats (if you haven’t tried a Pastéis de Nata, do yourself a favor), I bring warmth and energy to every project I touch.

Outside of work, I’m a CrossFit enthusiast, a foodie, and a bit of a gaming geek — The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 (where I actually met my husband!), No Man’s Sky, and The Sims are my go-to escapes.

A sucker for a colour-coded project plan, I believe every detail deserves attention.

Oh, and I speak Portuguese too — Boas-vindas!

Most importantly, I’m a proud mum to Matilde, my nearly two-year-old firecracker who keeps me on my toes and laughing daily.

💬 Join us in giving Emma a warm welcome!
