Don’t pay for down time when you could pay for work time. Bates Business Services will get the work you need done on time every time. We meet tough deadlines.

If it’s typable/word processable, we do it: business reports, correspondence, legal documents/pleadings/briefs, Excel database, editing and composition, school assignments (to include term papers, dissertations and theses), résumés, transcription from cassettes (both micro and standard), newsletters, manuscripts, and general word processing. Most of our work is done in-house, but we will schedule the occasional on-site requests when needed. If you need to dictate work in person, you can come to our office and dictate while Ms. Bates types. We also have clients who dictate over the phone. If you need help in composing your work, Ms. Bates has excellent editing skills, and she has edited a number of books for clients. We do E-mail communications and research as well.

Using a secretarial/word processing service is not only practical for times of office overload, but we can save you money by billing just for work performed. You do not have to pay us for vacation, insurance, down time, Workers Comp, sick leave, or employment taxes, IRS withholding and Social Security, whereas these items would have to be provided to a live employee in your office.
