I'd guess Whatsapp for Business stuff has been developed due to how many businesses have already been using Whatsapp. and even without it, when the same number is being listed on the business' Facebook page, it's pretty easy to connect the dots. I admit though, I used some shorthand when writing my previous comment. I meant "where Whatsapp is used to contact businesses".
