The EMpreneur Solutions Metamorphosis
Company Founded
After experiencing difficulty starting her own business upon immigrating to Canada, making several mistakes in the process, Dr Atinuke founded EMpreneur Solutions, formerly called EM the Influencer. EMpreneur Solutions is a personalized business advisory service specializing in the empowerment of Canadian immigrants. Atinuke, the visionary founder, channels her over 10 years experience running her products and service based fashion businesses including EM Wigs towards supporting immigrants to thrive in the Canadian business ecosystem.
COVID Times
When COVID struck, Atinuke began a weekly series of uncovering hidden business ideas in various domains in the business landscape of Canada including the Healthcare and Real Estate sectors. At these events, she invited respected professionals from these sectors who uncovered hidden business ideas and this led to new businesses amongst her community.
Accepting Clients plus time away
Dr. Atinuke officially started accepting paying clients and has helped over 50 business owners cross several business hurdles and has supported some to obtain business grants. Her desire to see other immigrants succeed led her to single-handedly create a Free support community of 100+ Nigerian small business owners in the region of Waterloo who have recorded more business clarity, opportunities and progress. In late 2021, Atinuke took a maternity leave but could never turn away clients, so she offered advisory on volunteering basis.
