This article describes the business dynamics of the manufacturing industries sector of the department of Huila (Colombia) during the period 2012 to 2017. A study was carried out with a quantitative approach of retrospective descriptive descriptive type, the source of information in the national database “Single Business and Social Registry (RUES) ”. Companies registered under manufacturing industries were taken as the main sector where the variables were studied: economic activity, size, location and renewal of the commercial register. A direct association was found between business survival and micro and small sized businesses; and between business size and registered economic activity. These results offer a baseline to design and implement future projects that allow improving business development and, likewise, regional productivity.

Keywords : business survival; manufacturing industries; business dynamics.
