How much does BELAY cost?
BELAY doesn’t use a standard rate card. We scope the hours, role and skills you need, then quote a flat monthly fee for that scope. Your cost depends on how much support you need each month, the role (executive, virtual, marketing, social media and more) and any specialized skills. Every BELAY Assistant is U.S.-based, and if your first match isn’t the right fit, BELAY’s Right-Fit Guarantee rematches you at no additional cost. The fastest way to get a number for your situation is a short fit call.
