Approximately thirty women are associated with the enterprise. The active count is not verified from records.

Legal form, stated plainly
The enterprise is a business name registered under the Registration of Business Names Act (Cap 499). This matters more than it first appears, and it is stated here rather than left for a reader to discover.
