Aumente su apariencia (look) empresarial
Explanation:
Creo que el cambio de verbo es una opción a tener en cuenta. También se me ocurre "Muestre que va en serio con...", haciendo juego con "to mean business" pero quizás rize un tanto el rizo.

Refleje su negocio


Explanation:
I'd rather add 'su' instead of 'el', it sounds better. Even the English version is a little tilted.
