businesses certainly have a high incentive to get internal research correct. they don't necessarily have the same incentives when it comes to publishing results or funding external research. see tobacco health research performed/funded by tobacco companies. in general i trust businesses a bit more than governments, because I find it easier to dissect their motivations, but either can be greatly incentivised to distort scientific findings.
