Business Process Outsourcing Services to Streamline Your Operations
Business support for small companies that have outgrown doing everything themselves. A GetFriday assistant takes on admin, customer service, sales follow-up and back-office work, in your tools and to your processes.
Business support services for small and growing businesses
At some point the owner of a growing business becomes its bottleneck. Emails wait for replies, quotes go out late, the CRM falls behind, and the work that would actually grow the business keeps getting pushed to next week.
We give small businesses a trained assistant to take on that recurring work. Since 2005 we've done this for more than 15,000 clients, on flexible plans with no long-term contract.
Startup, owner-operator or established company, the approach is the same: your assistant learns how you already work and fits into it, rather than asking you to change.
Why it gets hard to keep up
The daily jobs don't stop for growth. Emails still need answers, customers still need replies, reports still need preparing, and follow-ups can't wait.
Hiring for each of those isn't realistic for most small businesses. Recruitment takes months, salaries add up, and a new hire needs weeks of training before they're useful.
Business support for small businesses fills that gap. You get trained help for the hours you need, without adding to headcount.
What is business process support?
Business process support means handing a set of regular operational tasks to an outside team: admin, customer service, sales coordination, back-office work.
The work follows your procedures, in your systems.
Over time your assistant becomes part of how the business runs, the person who keeps the routine moving while your team handles the decisions.
Common areas clients hand over:
Solo founders, startups and small companies all use it. Most start with one or two areas and add more once they see how it works.
How GetFriday's business support works
We match you with an assistant based on your industry, time zone and the work you need done. They learn your processes, tools and preferences in the first few weeks, and you get consistent results after that.
An assistant, plus a backup
Every primary assistant has a second assistant trained on your account. If one is off sick or on leave, the work carries on.
ISO 27001 certified
Your business and client data are handled under ISO 27001, an independently audited security standard.
You get reliable help without taking on recruitment, payroll or training yourself.

Case study: how a real estate company stopped losing leads
The problem
A growing real estate company was getting hundreds of leads a month from online ads, property portals and referrals. The sales team couldn't reply to all of them quickly while also updating listings, following up with buyers and handling admin.
Buyers were being lost because nobody called them back fast enough, follow-ups slipped, and salespeople spent their days coordinating instead of selling.
What we did
The company brought in a dedicated GetFriday assistant for business process support.
The assistant worked as part of the sales team and took over:
Lead Management
Logging new enquiries, recording the details and keeping the lead database current
Customer Follow-ups
Booking calls, sending reminders and keeping in regular touch with prospects
CRM Support
Updating customer records, tracking where each lead stood and keeping sales data accurate
Appointment Coordination
Booking property viewings and arranging meetings between buyers and salespeople
Administrative Support
Preparing reports, filing documents and handling routine sales admin
What changed
With the routine work covered, the company was able to:
- Reply to new enquiries much faster
- Follow up with every potential buyer on schedule
- Take admin off the salespeople
- Keep the CRM accurate and up to date
- Give the sales team more time for viewings and closing

It’s having a remote team handle the routine, behind-the-scenes work that keeps your company running. Instead of drowning in spreadsheets, CRM updates, or doc formatting, we handle those tasks so you can focus on core work.
Any digital, repeatable admin work. That includes: Data entry and online research, CRM cleanup and database management, document formatting and basic bookkeeping support. We don't do physical on-site work or anything requiring legal licensing, but if it can be done over a computer, we can handle it.
Yes. If you have written SOPs, checklists, or loom videos, we follow them step-by-step. If you don't have them documented yet, we can write down the steps as we learn your workflow.
Of course. We work inside your tools, on your schedule, and through your preferred communication channels. Before starting, we lock in access rules, turnaround times, and review steps together.
Definitely. Startups use us to avoid the high cost of full-time hires. We take care of research, scheduling, CRM upkeep, and admin so founders can focus on sales, investors, and product development.
Any company with computer-based admin work. We regularly work with e-commerce brands, real estate firms, recruiters, consultants, software startups, and marketing agencies.
Simple tasks like basic research or data entry can start right away. If your process requires complex software setups or multi-step approvals, onboarding usually takes a few days. Send us your task list and we'll give you a clear timeline.

I have been working with Getfriday since about 5 months now and I have nothing but positive things to say about them. The assistant assigned to me is excellent, follows instructions to the T and executes flawlessly. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. This was my first attempt at hiring an online assistant and I have nothing to complain of.
