LTVA Services Ltd

Lisa Tennant

L.T. VA Services provides virtual assistant services to business clients - including remote administration, marketing and tech support.

The company had a custom time portal system, allowing time and projects to be tracked. Clients also get access so that they can oversee projects.

A £3,736 Small Business Adaptation Grant from Derbyshire Dales District Council enabled much needed improvements to the system to help with productivity and reduce costs.

Lisa Tennant (CEO) says:

Without the funding I received from Derbyshire Dales District Council I would not have been able to afford the investment needed into my bespoke time portal system. I am so grateful to have been awarded it, it’s made such a difference to my business.
