About Sabrina L. Williams

Although I was born in the UK, I moved to the Canary Islands, Spain at a young age and I haven't looked back. The Canaries is a fantastic place to live, I mean you can do all types of outdoor activities practically all year round because of the great weather. Horses are my poison but the islands are also a superb spot for water sports so they do attract a lot of attention from people around the world. Anyway, enough about that. Back in 2011, I made one of the biggest, scariest yet best decisions I'd ever made and set-up my own business in the middle of a recession. I love what I do as no two days are the same, plus Spanish law keeps me on my toes as it is constantly changing (often without warning!) so there is always something new to learn. As I've branched out in the world of Administrative Consultancy, I decided to create a blog to discuss topics of interest to others in my industry and my clients, share tips and experiences, to see what new ideas people have for improving their businesses and the like so I hope you'll find the time to join me on this venture...

With modern technology and social networks available at a mere push of a button, contact with others and marketing ones business is easier than ever. What many do not consider is the negative impact certain information may have on our business and/or reputation and how other professionals may perceive us based on what they find out about us on the Internet and by this I am referring to the information we may post on our personal profiles.

How safe is your clients' data?

How safe is your clients’ data?

As Consultants, you will more than likely handle information of a sensitive nature whilst collaborating with clients. Personal data is a person’s most precious commodity. In a technological age where it is so easy to hack into somebody else’s bank account, steal social security details etc, it is no wonder that the majority are a little hesitant when it comes to handing over their personal information. As a professional, how can you reassure your client that their data is safe with you? What legal obligations do you have in that regard? Even though this article is based on Data Protection laws in Spain, most countries have similar legislation so it would be a good idea to find out what your obligations are in your place of residence.

To answer many of the burning questions you may have, I have spoken to an expert in this particular field, José Ángel Campos Sánchez whose company, Pengdolph IT & Services,  is on a mission to inform other companies and individual business-owners of how to comply with these strict laws.

Getting Your Home Office Ready

With Freelancers and Administrative Consultants (also referred to by some as Virtual Assistants) on the rise, home offices are becoming more common than ever before. Things have changed though and the typical home office is no longer relegated to a tiny area of your house to tinker around in. For many, it is now a key room in the home where many hours are spent.

For this reason, it is vital for your office space to be functional if you’re going to run a successful business from it so careful planning needs to be done. Prepare a check-list of the equipment and furniture you’ll need. We touched on this briefly in a previous article (see Planning Is Key, Part 8: Calculating the Costs) but equipment aside for a second, think about the following:
