Delete the old business and create the new business. Alternatively you can change the information to match the new business.
Please don't delete and recreate if you can. Keeping the history of points is useful, if you delete a point you will delete its history. Wiki article with more details: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Keep_the_history
Good article.
@infeeeee: Regarding deletion of history. Not sure if you simplified, but its not true that deletion of a point will delete its history.
As the article states
It is just harder to find after deletion.
@redd @infeeeee
