Spanish term or phrase: consolidación de empresas
Ante estos antecedentes, se crea la Escuela de XXXX, surgiendo como respuesta a las necesidades de mejora del acceso de las mujeres a la actividad emprendedora y la consolidación de sus empresas.

Se trata de un espacio en el que se ha generado un modelo integrado de intervención para el acompañamiento en el proceso de creación y consolidación de empresas.

I think that the literal translation 'consolidate a business' refers to something different but I am not sure.

Thanks for your help.
