Wholesale and retail companies in Bogotá, Colombia

The RUES + Supersociedades (datos.gov.co) lists 139,935 wholesale and retail companies (distributors, importers, retailers and dealerships) in Bogotá, of which 56,150 are active. With 41.5% of Colombia's section G records, Bogotá is the largest of the country's 30 departments for this sector (extraction 2026-10-02). Its weight in the local economy is close to the national mix: 20.7% of Bogotá's records against 18.6% nationally (location quotient 1.12).

Colombian rows carry the department of the chamber of commerce; the registry publishes a municipality for under 3% of them, so there is no city breakdown for Colombia. The median active company is 5.7 years old; 12% were registered in the last year and 32% in the last three. In the 12 months to September 2026, 6,944 new wholesale and retail businesses were registered in Bogotá, +4.0% on the previous 12 months (national section G: +5.1%). By ISIC division, 46 (wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles) is 47.4% of the records and 47 (retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles) 40.6%. Size is known for 5% of the active companies; 12% of those are micro and 1,274 are medium or large.

The largest section everywhere. Division 46 (wholesale) is the B2B half: distributors and importers that payments, trade-finance, logistics and B2B-marketplace vendors target. Division 47 (retail) is the merchant universe for payments, POS and e-commerce enablement. 45 holds dealerships and repair shops. Filter by division first; the section total is too broad for any single campaign.
