Hi there... this is me!

My name is Julieanne Loy, the owner and operator of Loy Admin Services.

I'm a mum from a small country town with two beautiful girls and a tradie husband (he's a panel beater).

Hubby and I have been business owners since 2014, in a panel shop in our local town. In 2022 we decided to scale right back and now I have the opportunity to do what I love... working with other businesses by managing the day-to-day stuff so they can focus on the bigger picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work onsite?

All my work is done virtually (from home).
I refer to myself as a Virtual Assistant or VA for short.
Most systems are online and for those systems that are not online, I can simply access them through a remote login software.

How well do you know the Vehicle Repair Industry?

Since 2014, I have worked, managed and co-owned a Panel Shop with my husband (he's a Panel Beater by trade). Since then I have learned the correct terminology for parts and panels of vehicles and the amount of work it takes to repair.

How are your hours tracked?

If we are a good fit and decide to work together, I will be using a project management system to keep track of each task (or claim) to ensure nothing is missed. In my 9 years of experience, claims handling from start to finish can take anywhere from 2-4 hours per claim depending on the insurance company and their call wait times for follow up.

Can you explain what you actually do?

Sure! Let's break it down... Here's the full claims handling services I offer...

  • Enter the vehicle details into quoting system
  • Send the quotes to insurance company
  • Follow up claim status, get the authority
  • Negotiate rates
  • Update authorised figures to quote system
  • Ordering parts
  • Book customer
  • Enter supplementary quote details and send
  • Follow up supplementary status, get the authority
  • Creating invoice for insurance company and customer for excess
  • Send invoices
  • Import invoices into accounting system
  • Follow up invoice payment
  • What are your rates and hours?

    I have various packages available where a discount applies and an hourly rate for those who would prefer to pay on a regular basis e.g. fortnightly.
    Right now, I don't have set days and times. Some of the work we do together will be during business hours and some will be after hours.

    Would you sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)?

    Loy Admin Services (LSA) have an agreement with all clients that includes a confidentiality clause. If this does not suffice, LSA is happy to sign the Client's NDA. 

    Can you do work for all states?

    Yes. I am able to provide services for all states. There may be times where we will need extra time together but this is a very occasional circumstance.

    Do I have to hire you for full claims handling?

    No. You can choose to only hire me for that parts you really need me. Touch base with me to find out more...
