For work purpose, i would recommend to get work permit Iqama Visa. Business visa is just similar to visit visa which has limit in term of time and you can't bring your family with you based on business visa.

As TLL said , work permit & iqama is same.Business visa is commercial visit visa.

To work & bring family in KSA you need iqama or residence permit.
