Gearbox, It's not a bullshit, it's a real business

Where "business" is being used in a similar context to "company" or "organisation", and as such is countable, you need to make sure you use an article.
However, the term "business" can also be used as a concept, describing trade. In this case it is an uncountable conceptual noun, and no article is needed.
