Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'business' (a commercial company) + 'organization' (a collective of people) yields an organization engaged in commercial activity. This follows a straightforward noun–noun compound pattern found across languages with no idiomatic or metaphorical shift, so a B1 learner knowing the parts can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Business organization comes from the simple idea of people brought together and arranged to do business. Imagine a group where each person has a role and they follow a plan to sell things or provide services; that image explains why the phrase means 'a company or group set up to do buying and selling'.
