I don't consider Busness Requirements (BR) as important as Functional
Requirements (FS), except to write the FS, and if whoever is writing
the FS thinks they don't need the BR, maybe they do and maybe they
don't. It could be that the person writing the FS knows that business
and its requirements very well.
Once you have the FS, you are writing about the application that
conforms to those requrements.
