That is the way a geocoder works.  It turns addresses (mostly postal
addresses) into coordinates.

It sounds like you need to integrate with the local search API which
does business names:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#LocalSearch

the Google AJAX Search API:
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/local.html

a separate product with its own terms of use.
