For all reasons related to Shabbat
Topic: Working on Shabbat
Question: What should one do when the business is still open on Shabbat?

Answer

Shalom u-vracha 

The question does not explain whether you are the owner of the business or an employee in it.

In any case, if you are still not able to stop working in the business on Shabbat, try to minimize as much as possible the forbidden labors. Avoiding each individual melacha by itself means reducing transgression.
