MARYLAND, UNITED STATES — Virtual staffing company 20four7VA has won Best Small Business in the Staffing and HR Agency Firm category at the 2026 Best of America Small Business Awards (BASA Awards), after reaching the final as a category finalist for the second consecutive year.
The results were announced on Oct. 12.
What changed since 2025
20four7VA, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Berlin, Maryland, was named a finalist in the same category at the 2025 awards. The company said it has since strengthened its operations, including setting up a dedicated Growth Department.
To date it has placed more than 20,000 virtual assistants and supported more than 9,000 companies, both cumulative totals rather than current active counts. Its managed staffing model covers talent sourcing and vetting, client-VA matching, onboarding and ongoing support, with remote professionals working in administrative support, customer service, sales, operations and bookkeeping.
“Being named a BASA Awards finalist for the second consecutive year is a meaningful recognition of the work our team puts in every day and the relationships we continue to build with our clients and remote professionals,” said Catherine vanVonno, president and CEO of 20four7VA.
How the award was decided
The BASA Awards recognize small businesses across the United States, spanning six tracks and more than 150 categories.
Entries scoring at least 75% with the judges are named finalists and go forward to a public vote. The category winner is then decided on the judges’ marks and the public votes combined.
Public voting ran from Oct. 6 to Oct. 12, and BASA published its 2026 winners list the same day. BASA says the awards are judged by a panel of independent third-party industry leaders from across the United States.
A run of recognition
The win follows 20four7VA reaching the Inc. 5000 Honor Roll, which OA reported in August.
For small and midsize businesses hiring virtual assistant support, a provider’s cumulative placement record and its onboarding and support model are worth checking alongside any award. Buyers comparing a remote staffing agency with other options can start with the top BPO companies worldwide list.
20four7VA is currently subscribed as an Outsource Accelerator (OA) BPO Partner. Through OA’s Marketing, Sales, and Source Partner Hubs, the firm accesses a unified growth platform designed to convert high-intent prospects and accelerate deal flow in the outsourcing industry.
