Google Plus - what now ...

Google Plus has now rolled out g+ for businesses.
However there are precisely zero, zip, nada guidelines on just what Google means by this -- and the pointers to create a business account (at least right now) point you to exactly the same page as for creating a personal g+ account.
So, are we going through a whole 'nother spree of 'nym wars? Now what is the criteria?
EDIT: No, I haven't opened or re-opened a g+ account.

I sent them a stern reply (in English) stating that my contractual partner was not Google Incorporated but rather Google Germany GmbH in Hamburg, that I would prefer further written communication in German only, that I would like a Google Germany employee to review this matter and not a Google Inc. employee, and I attached (in German) a relevant court ruling stating that businesses are required to offer pseudonymous access to their services where applicable.
Two days later, I was unblocked without a word or even as much as a notice. I guess they still don't know who's doing what there, and why.
