While the G + features for business not exist, there are some creative ways for businesses to take advantage of G +.On one occasion, Christian Oestlien, Google Plus Product Manager, said that although Google's main focus now is to optimize the user experience, but they also have several teams with the best developers who are developing a business version of Google +.
For business people or companies who are interested to try it, can register on Google + Entity Application Profile for the invitation. Simply fill in the information as accurate and complete as possible.
