As business owners in Nigeria ponder on how to manage their time effectively, a leading service agency Mimi VPA is supporting an increasing number of business owners to manage their operations by providing them with virtual assistants.
Sesi Zamba, the founder of MimiVPA said “business owners in Nigeria who are interested in outsourcing should first identify which business processes can be delegated. They should then select a reputable outsourcing provider that has a proven track record of delivering high-quality services, and outsourcing is a proven solution that can help business owners in Nigeria improve their efficiency, save costs, and focus on their core competencies. By leveraging the expertise of a third-party provider, business owners can optimise their operations and achieve sustainable growth”.
According to Sesi, “entrepreneurs need virtual assistants to manage their time more efficiently, access specialised skills, provide flexibility, and provide peace of mind. As the world becomes more fast-paced, entrepreneurs who do not delegate tasks effectively risk falling behind their competitors.”
“This need for outsourcing is why MimiVPA is supporting an increasing number of business owners to manage their operations by providing them with virtual assistants.
In Nigeria, outsourcing has become an increasingly popular solution for business owners seeking to improve their efficiency,” Sesi added.
This approach to outsourcing, she said, is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that may not have the resources to hire full-time staff to handle all their business processes.

Sesi further stated that outsourcing offers business owners the advantage of accessing specialised expertise without having to invest in additional training or equipment.
In supporting entrepreneurs, Sesi said that they “start by understanding the peculiar needs of each business owner and pair them up with properly vetted and trained assistants that can provide the tailored services they need.
She listed some of the tasks that entrepreneurs can delegate to include scheduling appointments, responding to emails, and managing social media accounts.
In addition, virtual assistants can provide specialised skills that entrepreneurs may not possess.
“For example, entrepreneurs may need help with graphic design, copywriting, or data analysis. Virtual assistants can provide these services at a lower cost and provide flexibility. “Entrepreneurs can hire virtual assistants on a project-by-project basis, allowing them to scale their business without incurring fixed costs.” Sesi said.
Sesi added that “this is particularly useful for entrepreneurs who have seasonal businesses or who experience fluctuations in demand.
Virtual assistants can provide peace of mind. Entrepreneurs can trust that their virtual assistants will complete tasks on time and to a high standard, allowing them to focus on other aspects of their business,” she said.
