Is it possible to say such a sentence?
We are an ability company.

How do you understand it?
I would say We are a competent (capable...) company.
Or?

Is it possible to say such a sentence? Is the following sentence grammatically correct?
We are an ability company. No.

How do you understand it? I wouldn't understand it.
I would say "We are a competent (capable) company".
Or? What else could I use?
Please note my comments (in blue) and corrections (in red) above.

Where did you find the original sentence? "Ability" certainly doesn't work there. It's a noun and you need an adjective. Companies are neither competent nor capable. Those words describe the people who work for a company.
What are you trying to say and why?
