All the posts ( almost) talk about applying for Amex Cards (Biz Plat, Biz Gold, Blue Biz...) multiple times. OK, I get that. But the pop-up I received stated that the application is for the 2nd business I may own. Not applying for another Biz Plat for the same business I have on top of one-and-the-only Biz Plat card I have for the business. I just want to make sure you were not confused.
And I wonder if anyone else out there has received the same offer as mine. Anyone???

Your question is answered in both threads but you may not realize that it's being answered.
Many of us have received these pop-ups or targeted physical mailers with attractive sign up bonuses while we already have Business cards (Gold or Plat or both). As long as the application terms have NLL (= no lifetime language which is language that states you can't get the bonus again if you already have the card) then you are free to sign up for the exact same card you already have and even sign up under the exact same business.
Another option if you don't want to sign up using the same business name and don't have another one, but still want to get that juicy SUB, you can sign up as a sole proprietor. My very first business card with Amex was the SPG (now Marriott) biz card and I got it well before the days I had any business so I signed up and got approved as sole proprietor and to this day my name is double printed on the card.
