  -> Agreed. Depending on how you work the translation you could focus on person or company, but technically company is closer here.
agree  Francis Fine: I agree wiith Wenjer that the word "person" could be "de-emphasized." The difficult wordis "yeh. (trade? profession? line of business?) Any all-embracing word or term?, "
