  • We connect European SMBs and solopreneurs with skilled Filipino virtual assistants across four core services: General Virtual Assistant support, IT Support, Social Media Assistance and English Customer Support. We handle recruitment, onboarding and VA wellbeing, so you get a reliable, ready-to-work team member without the overhead of hiring directly.

  • Most platforms treat VAs as a commodity. We do not. Kapwa Support pays above-market rates, offers performance bonuses and builds genuine community around our VAs, because we have found that VAs who are well looked after produce consistently better work for our clients. Care is not a perk on top of our service. It is how we deliver quality.

  • We work with SMBs and solopreneurs across Europe. Wherever you are based, our virtual assistants can support your business remotely, and our operations are built around Europe's data protection standards from the ground up.

  • Reach out through our contact form and tell us a little about what you need. We will get back to you to talk through the right role, hours and fit for your business.

  • Kapwa is a Filipino concept of shared identity, the idea that your wellbeing and mine are connected, that we rise together rather than separately. It shapes how we treat our VAs and, in turn, how they show up for your business.

  • Kapwa Support was founded by two people with a deeply personal connection to the Philippines, one who grew up there before relocating to the Netherlands, and one with close personal ties to Filipino culture. That dual perspective, lived experience on both sides, shapes everything we do.

  • We saw a gap between what VA staffing agencies typically offer and what would actually make VAs and clients thrive together. Most models push rates down and treat VAs as interchangeable. We wanted to build something different, an agency where genuine care for our VAs is the engine behind consistent quality for our clients.

  • It means above-market pay, performance bonuses, community meetups and proper recognition of paid vacation are not add-ons. They are how we keep our VAs motivated, supported and invested in your success, which shows up directly in the quality and reliability of their work.

  • Pricing is based on the VA role you need and the number of hours per week. Use our pricing calculator to see a weekly cost estimate in euros, along with a comparison to typical local European rates.

  • No. The rate you see reflects what you pay for your VA's time. We believe in straightforward pricing, without surprise charges layered on afterwards.

  • Your hourly rate covers your VA's time, our recruitment and matching process, ongoing management and the wellbeing programme that keeps our VAs motivated and consistent, including above-market pay and performance bonuses on our side.

  • Yes, our pricing is designed to flex with your business needs.

  • Rock-bottom rates usually mean high VA turnover and inconsistent quality. Kapwa Support starts from €35 per hour because we invest in our VAs, and that investment is what keeps quality and reliability consistent for you.
