Usage Note
Avviato is the past participle of avviare ('to start, to set in motion'), used as an adjective to mean 'established' or 'up-and-running': un'attività avviata ('an established business'). It can also mean 'thriving' or 'well-started'. The phrase ben avviato ('well under way') is very common. Do not confuse with avanzato ('advanced') — avviato emphasizes a good start or established status rather than progress.
Examples
"Ha ereditato un negozio già avviato e redditizio."

He inherited an already established and profitable shop.
