From Corporate Identity Theft to Business Success

BOSTON - EntSun -- A stolen identity nearly destroyed her business, but instead of backing down, she rebuilt—stronger than ever. Kirsty Whitaker, Managing Director of Support My Empire, is a powerhouse in business consulting today, but her journey to success was anything but ordinary.

Now, through Support My Empire, she helps entrepreneurs navigate the very challenges that nearly cost her everything—empowering retail and fashion brands to launch, scale, and protect their businesses in an unpredictable global market.

A Multi-Million Dollar Loss and a Three-Year Legal Battle

In 2017,Ms Whitaker discovered that her corporate identity had been stolen, compromising businesses she had spent years building. The consequences were devastating:

• Loss of business contracts and licensing deals across multiple countries
• Jeopardized visas and factory operations, forcing abrupt closures and operational shutdowns
• Close to $1 million in legal fees and financial losses, draining resources built over two decades

What followed was a three-year battle to reclaim her name, her business, and her future—an ordeal that would have caused many to walk away. Instead, she used her insider knowledge of international business law, contracts, and dispute resolution to fight back, not just for herself but for others facing similar vulnerabilities.
