Based on the information available, it doesn't appear that you can qualify for the e-visa. But "Businessmen" seems very generic to me. Perhaps it has some special meaning on a GCC residence permit, or perhaps it is just general and any sort of businessman would qualify.
If you want to be completely safe, apply for the regular visa from the embassy. If you want to take a bit of a risk, you can try to apply for the e-visa. You might be approved. If you're declined, then you can go back to apply for the regular visa. But the reason this is risky is that even if you are approved, the immigration officers might decide at the border that you didn't qualify, and issue a fine and/or refuse entry. It is up to you to decide whether this risk is worth taking.
