QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Before we begin

If your question is not covered here, you are welcome to get in touch, even if you are still unsure what kind of support you need.

Ask a question
01What type of business is EA On Demand suitable for?

EA On Demand primarily supports solo entrepreneurs and established small business owners who need reliable help with the administrative, coordination and operational work behind the business. We are based in South Africa and support businesses remotely across different locations and time zones.

02How do I know which level of support I need?

You do not need to decide before getting in touch. We discuss what is taking up your time, where work is getting stuck and what needs greater consistency, then recommend the most appropriate level of support and skills.

03What is the difference between the three levels of support?

Administrative Support focuses on practical task execution. Business Support adds coordination and implementation across tools, projects and client processes. Operations Management provides higher-level oversight, improvement and management across several moving parts. This may include online business management support where appropriate.

04Do you offer fixed packages?

Support is flexible and based on the work your business requires. The scope and support level are discussed during discovery rather than placing every client into the same package.

05Can support change as my business changes?

Yes. Ongoing support can be reviewed as priorities, capacity and business needs change. Any change to the scope or support level is discussed and agreed clearly.

06What tools and platforms do you work with?

Requirements vary from one business to another. During discovery, we discuss the tools you already use and whether the appropriate EA On Demand support has the relevant experience. Any new platform or access requirement is agreed before work begins.

07Do you offer once-off or project support?

Yes. Once-off and project-based support is welcome. The work is scoped separately and is not subject to the five-hour monthly minimum that applies to ongoing support.

08How does pricing and billing work?

EA On Demand does not publish a single standard rate because pricing depends on the level of support and skills required. Ongoing support has a five-hour minimum per month. Time is tracked accurately, and clients are billed for the actual time used. Once-off and project work is scoped separately and is not subject to the ongoing monthly minimum. A proposal with the applicable rate is provided once the requirements are clear.

09Is there a minimum number of hours?

Ongoing support has a five-hour monthly minimum. Once-off and project work does not have this ongoing-support minimum and is scoped according to the project requirements.

10How do I get started?

You can book a discovery call or send an enquiry. We will discuss the business, identify the priorities, recommend the right support and explain the onboarding process.
