enterprise


Explanation:
Even though some people in Flanders would use the term 'enterprise' (or rather 'entreprise' > French) instead of '(1)onderneming, bedrijf (2) initiatief, waagstuk, speculatie', it's not a correct Flemish/Dutch word.
It remains English and means what it means: an enterprise.

Native speaker; no references needed.
Any dictionary should contain this term (e.g. Engels Woordenboek, Wolters)
