Abstract

The article describes the characteristics of female entrepreneurship in the village of Chochó and the Las Canarias neighborhood in the municipality of Sincelejo. The main objective was to establish the profile of women entrepreneurs from variables that favor their development in the city. The methodology used consisted of a mixed non-experimental descriptive approach, with the application of a survey to 50 women entrepreneurs assigned to the office of women and gender equity, Sincelejo mayor's office. As a result, it was obtained that the entrepreneurial practice is limited due to the lack of business knowledge and the few opportunities for business growth; it is worth mentioning that the motivation and drive of this group of women is to move forward and strengthen their enterprises with the generation of income for their households. It is also concluded that the enterprises are in incipient stages and for their consolidation, institutional and academic support is necessary for business strengthening.
