The briefing

Business Battles task players with recovering marked cargo and delivering it to a destination. A Nightclub or Motorcycle Club is not required simply to participate. Nightclub ownership adds another benefit: eligible delivered packages can contribute to warehouse stock as well as the immediate cash and RP reward.

The source describes public Freemode events requiring at least three players. Cargo may be a crate, bag or vehicle, and some variants offer multiple packages. Other participants can pursue the same goods, so plan both the approach and the return journey rather than spending all your resources reaching the pickup.

For the aircraft-carrier variant, approaching at sea level avoids its anti-aircraft defenses. Reach the bridge and hack the laptops to disable those defenses before using aircraft to leave. Armor and snacks help during the contested recovery. Weekly event rewards and the Battler trophy give additional goals, but successful delivery remains the action that turns a recovered package into a result.
