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.

Meet the talent most businesses haven't discovered yet.
Largest continent on Earth
People across 54 countries
Median age — the youngest population on Earth
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.
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.
Many African countries — like Ghana and Nigeria — are just 4–6 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern time, so your workday falls in their afternoon and evening. Rested people do better work.
Most VA companies hand you a résumé. GGC hands you a result.
- 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
- 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

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.
