in business
Up and running
In business describes being actively engaged in commercial activity or trade.
A shop that's in business is open and operating.
The phrase extends to readiness or viability: Once we get funding, we're in business.
To put someone out of business is to cause their failure; to mean business is to be serious about one's intentions.
