Small, informal businesses like 'puestos de tacos' are a vital part of the economy and are often referred to as 'el negocio.' Argentines often use 'abrir un boliche' informally to refer to opening a shop or a small business, though 'boliche' can also mean a nightclub. Colombia has a very high rate of entrepreneurship. The term 'emprendimiento' is used frequently in media, but 'abrir un negocio' remains the standard for everyday people. The 'inauguración' of a new business is a major event. It often involves a party with music, food, and 'corte de cinta' (ribbon cutting).
