Dick, what might help is to get back to basics with Clooz. Remember, Clooz is DOCUMENT-based. So, what you are entering are documents that come from somewhere. The somewhere is the source/repository combination. You can link people to a business, if you have a document that you are entering that relates to that business. The addition of the list of businesses was intended to complement the list of people, so you could treat businesses themselves like you treat people. From there, you enter documents that you find and link either people or businesses to them. So, if you look at Clooz from the document perspective, you might be able to understand the thinking there.
