The quiet engine behind growing businesses
As small and medium-sized businesses face increasing operational complexity, the pressure on founders has never been higher. They are expected to lead, sell, innovate, and deliver, while still staying on top of emails, invoices, calls, and compliance.
That relentless juggle is exactly where JM Virtual Business Services (JMVBS) steps in. Women Story recently recognised our founder, Jo McClure, as a “Visionary Woman Founder to Watch — 2026” for building a company designed to quietly remove friction from the day-to-day running of a business, so leaders can get back to leading.
A business built to give founders their time back
Josephine founded JMVBS after seeing too many brilliant business owners stuck in the weeds of their own operations. They weren’t short on ideas or ambition, they were short on capacity.
JMVBS was created to solve that problem at the root. Instead of offering one-off fixes, we partner with businesses to build the kind of back-end operations that support sustainable growth: responsive, reliable, and scalable. Our role is to be the steady operational backbone, so our clients can step confidently into the strategic, client-facing work that truly moves the needle.
What we do at JMVBS
At JMVBS, our services are designed to work together as a complete operational support layer for your business:
Virtual reception – So you never miss an important call or opportunity, and your clients are always greeted by a real human who understands your business.
Administrative excellence – High-level administrative support that keeps your workflow moving: inboxes under control, documents where they should be, and tasks followed through.
Technology-led systems implementation – Smart, integrated systems (like CRMs and business platforms) that reduce double-handling, support better cash flow, and give you visibility across your operations.
Whether you’re scaling, stabilising, or rebuilding your business foundations, JMVBS is built to adapt to where you are and where you’re going.
Why Josephine is a “founder to watch”
Being named a “Visionary Woman Founder to Watch — 2026” is more than a personal milestone for Jo; it’s recognition of a different way of building a business. Rather than chasing noise or hype, JMVBS is intentionally designed to work in the background, removing obstacles, smoothing processes, and creating calm where there was once chaos.
Our clients don’t come to us for quick wins; they come to us for real, lasting change in how their businesses operate. Jo’s vision is simple: when your systems, support, and operations are working, you finally have the freedom to focus on the work only you can do.
