Business profiles - Linkedin, Groups - FB
A hybrid of those features would make it stand out. The ability to "Partner" with other businesses publicly, or recommend a business after being verified as a customer of said business. Prevents false or spam reviews/ recommendations
There really is a lot that could be done with this. I had a similar idea a few years ago, just never gone the code to the IDE.

From Requestor:
The groups could add a layer of networking. the public partnerships thing. that takes no vetting, since it's between the two businesses. They can chose to request partnership almost like a friends feature.
