Portuguese term or phrase: empreender

Hi guys! A recurring question that has come to mind is the proper translation to English of the word "empreender".

Look at the sentence below:

A opção de empreender está se tornando cada vez mais uma alternativa para iniciar uma nova carreira.

What would be the proper translation for "empreender" here?

Tks!

being your own boss

Explanation:
This could work if you need to vary your wording now and again.

Example sentence(s):

I was keen to meet the business owners and understand what we can do to help as I believe that the option of being your own boss should be accessible to everyone in our city."
Tiling is an interesting and rewarding career with many employment opportunities and the option of being your own boss.
