American Veteran-Owned

You've been looking in the wrong place.

Everyone hires their VA from the Philippines. Almost nobody looks at Africa — over 1.4 billion people, the youngest workforce on Earth, and skilled, English-speaking professionals most businesses haven't discovered yet.

People on Earth projected to be African by 2050

  • English is an official language in over 20 African countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa.
  • Nigeria — Africa's most populous country, with over 200 million people — runs its schools, government, and business in English.

A continent this big, this young, and this skilled — and most American businesses haven't discovered it yet.

The Philippines got there first. That's the only reason you've heard of it.

  • For over 20 years, the Philippines has been the default for outsourcing. Nearly every VA agency, course, and YouTube video points you there.
  • That means every business is competing for the same people — and good VAs get hired away.
  • To work U.S. hours, many offshore VAs work the graveyard shift for years.
  • Our team brings real skill, excellent communication, and genuine professionalism. GGC connects them with American businesses that need them.

This isn't a shortcut. It's access to exceptional people most businesses haven't met yet.

They work your hours — not the graveyard shift.

Nigeria5–6 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern
Philippines12–13 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern

A Nigerian EA working an afternoon shift covers your 8am–4pm Eastern workday during their own normal daytime hours. Rested people do better work.

Most VA companies hand you a résumé. GGC hands you a result.

The usual way
  • Post on a job board and sort through résumés
  • Hire a stranger with no background check
  • Train them yourself
  • Manage them every day
  • They quit, and you start over
The GGC way
  • Tell us what needs to get done
  • Background-checked — with documents in your hands
  • We build the SOPs and train them
  • We manage them — you don't even have to talk to them
  • We replace and retrain internally — you never feel the gap

An American company, run by a U.S. veteran, that understands American businesses.

Every EA comes with a background check — and you get a copy.

Every assistant hired by a GGC client has passed a background check, and you can request a copy of the documents at any time. You know exactly who is working in your business — and if anything ever goes wrong, you have a verified person you can report.

Ray Dockery, founder of GGC Virtual Assistants
Who's behind this

Built by a U.S. veteran who spent five years in Nigeria.

GGC Virtual Assistants was founded by Ray Dockery, a U.S. military veteran and business owner who spent five years building his own business in Nigeria. What he found was a deep community of talented, highly capable professionals that most American business owners had never had the chance to work with. GGC brings that talent together with clear processes, background checks, and American management, so you can build your business with confidence.
