businesspersons
People in commerce
Businesspersons is the plural of businessperson, a gender-neutral term for someone engaged in commercial or professional activity.
The word serves as an alternative to businessmen or businesswomen when gender is unknown or irrelevant: Several businesspersons testified before the committee.
In practice, business people (two words) or executives often sounds more natural.
