If you want to display the business name alongside the contact’s name in the Contacts list, there unfortunately isn’t a native way to do this in the Contacts app.


However, you can use a workaround: you could include the company name in the first or last name fields. For example, if the contact’s name is “John Smith” and the company name is “ABC Corp”, you could list the name as “John Smith - ABC Corp”. This way, when you view your Contacts list, you will see both the name and the company for each contact.


Please remember that doing this may affect how your contacts are sorted and searched, as your iPhone will now consider the entire string (“John Smith - ABC Corp”) as the contact’s name.
