Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'big' (large/powerful) + 'business' (companies), so a learner who knows both words can infer 'large and powerful companies' or the corporate sector. This is a straightforward, compositional noun phrase found across languages and not idiomatic, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Big business started as a simple picture: big, meaning very large, and business, meaning a company, like a huge factory that controls jobs and money in a town. So, big business means 'large and powerful companies' that can influence society or politics.
