(The term 'empresario' encompasses not just ownership but also the entrepreneurial spirit and initiative, which may not always be captured in one single word in English.)
Antonyms
empleado
A person who owns or manages a business, especially one who shows initiative and is willing to take risks in order to make a profit. While often translated as entrepreneur, businessman, or businessperson, 'empresario' also frequently implies a degree of vision, leadership, and a proactive role in founding, developing, or significantly influencing a business or industry, rather than simply owning it.
