Colombia's RUES + Supersociedades (datos.gov.co) lists 87,711 companies in administrative and support service activities (ISIC section N), 40,835 of them active, which is 4.8% of all Colombian records in the LatSouth build (data as of 2026-10-02). By department, Bogotá D.C. leads with 36,280 (41% of the section), followed by Antioquia (10,132) and Valle del Cauca (8,248). The largest divisions are 82 (office administrative, office support and other business support activities, 36,187) and 79 (travel agency, tour operator, reservation service and related activities, 15,167); 4 further divisions complete it.
Staffing agencies, security firms, cleaning and facilities companies, travel agencies, call centres and the catch-all 'other business support' class. It is a labour-heavy section: HR tech, EOR and payroll, workforce management and fleet vendors use it. Division 82 (business support n.e.c.) is where many outsourcing and BPO companies register. In Colombia, rows carry the ISIC division (Colombian CIIU classes are national, so there is no ISIC class); size is known for 2%; 1.4% have a corporate e-mail domain (Supersociedades filers and two chambers); 5,452 were registered in the 12 months before the extraction. Department is the chamber's seat for most Colombian rows, and status comes from renewal and liquidation signals rather than a single flag.
