Frequently asked questions
Do you only work with Taupō businesses?
No. While Virtual Mel is proudly based in Taupō, our Business Admin Support is available to small businesses and sole traders throughout New Zealand.
Because we work virtually, we can support your business wherever you’re based.
How do I know which package is right for me?
It depends on how much support you need and how regularly you need it.
If you have a smaller number of recurring tasks, the 10-hour package can be a great place to start. If you need more consistent support across the month, the 25-hour package provides additional capacity. For businesses needing more regular, hands-on support, the 40-hour package provides the highest level of monthly support.
We also offer ad-hoc support and one-off project work, so you don’t need to commit to a monthly package if that’s not what your business needs.
Not sure what would suit you best? Book a free chat and we’ll talk through what you need and recommend the right fit.
What happens if I need more hours than my package includes?
No problem. If you need additional support in a particular month, we can provide extra hours at our standard hourly rate, subject to availability.
We’ll let you know if you’re getting close to your monthly package hours so there are no unexpected surprises.
And if your support needs change over time, we can review your package and adjust the level of support to better suit your business.
Do you offer one-off project support outside of the packages?
Yes. If you have a specific project or need support outside your regular package, we can provide ad-hoc or one-off project support.
This might include setting up or tidying a CRM, organising Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, improving business processes, setting up job management systems, project administration, or getting on top of an admin backlog.
Get in touch and we can discuss what you need and the best way to support your project.
