Abstract

Entrepreneurship is an important issue because through it it contributes to economic development, provides society with new products and services, growth and renewal, helping to mitigate informal businesses that occur in a global context. First of all, the typologies of entrepreneurs in informal businesses are an important topic for the progress of the Norte de Santander region and especially for the city of Pamplona. Therefore, the paradigm is of an interpretivist nature with a qualitative approach and a case study method applied through a semi-structured interview with a key informant. In short, the visualized results that are oriented to the type of entrepreneurs that they identify in these informal businesses are mostly those of a way of life or survival, supporting this in the diagnosis made from which it is concluded that the decision to undertake informally is associated to dissatisfaction with salary and the need to create more resources for all family members. From the analysis of the variety in entrepreneurs, and the characteristics that classify them in different sections and economic returns, determine if they apply in existing typologies or with the characteristics that become evident, new types of entrepreneurs arise, to classify them as such or simple hypotheses that can be refuted by other investigations.
