{malja'} "business" has been used by Okrand three times. Once in "Power
Klingon":
batlh malja' DaHuq.
You transact business honorably. PK
{malja' per} "trademark" - literally "business label" - has been used twice:
malja' permey
Trademarks (ST:Communicator #104 [1995] as a section heading)
Paramount Pictures malja' permey bIH Star Trek pong'e' Deghmey'e' je.
"Star Trek" and related marks are trademarks of Paramount Pictures.

ghunchu'wI' is right: We don't know whether {malja'} can refer to a place
of business as in English. However we do have {Suy} "merchant", which
clearly refers to the person doing business. So:
Hetaq paq ngevga'law' Suy.
Some other business-related verbs you can use are {je'} "buy, purchase";
{ngev} "sell"; {DIl} "pay for"; {tlhong} "barter, bargain" and {mech}
"trade". Nouns include {laSvargh} "factory", {Huch} "money" and {HuchQeD}
"economics".
