Joining Someone Else’s Business Can Be as Rewarding as Starting Your Own

Entrepreneurship

In this inspiring episode, Dimple Lalwani shares her entrepreneurial journey – from working in hospitality and running her own ventures in the UK, to finding new opportunities in Canada. Today, she’s part of LOOP, a fintech company that provides flexible funding and financial tools for eCommerce businesses.

While many entrepreneurs dream of launching their own company, Dimple reminds us that joining the right organization – one that aligns with your values and growth mindset – can be just as fulfilling and impactful.


From Entrepreneurship to Leadership

Before joining LOOP, Dimple built her career across the hospitality and retail sectors, managing fast-paced environments and leading customer-centric teams. Her entrepreneurial experience taught her the value of adaptability, creative problem-solving, and understanding what drives both customers and teams to succeed.

When she moved to Canada, she saw an opportunity not only to continue her entrepreneurial path but also to channel her skills into a company that shared her mission – empowering small business owners to grow confidently.


Finding Purpose at LOOP

At LOOP, Dimple discovered that building a great business isn’t limited to founders. LOOP’s collaborative culture allowed her to wear multiple hats, contribute across departments, and make a direct impact on clients’ success stories.

Her journey highlights how professionals can find entrepreneurial fulfillment within a team, especially when working toward a shared goal of innovation and financial empowerment.

LOOP specializes in:

  • Revenue-based financing for online merchants

  • Cash-flow management tools designed for eCommerce growth

  • Technology-driven financial insights that help entrepreneurs make smarter decisions

Together, LOOP and Smarter Loans share a common purpose – helping Canadian businesses access the capital they need to scale.


Lessons from Dimple’s Story

  • Entrepreneurship isn’t only about ownership – it’s about contribution, impact, and continuous learning.

  • Joining the right business can open doors to creativity and leadership in new ways.

  • Adaptability and curiosity are key traits for anyone navigating today’s fast-moving business landscape.

Dimple’s story is a reminder that success comes in many forms – and that finding the right fit can be even more rewarding than starting from scratch.
