Start here:

http://www.apple.com/business/mac/

Then try to find a local business that already uses Macs and beg them to be shown around their setup.

There's no real difference between using a Mac for home and using one for business except that you will need a bullet-proof network and it might be an idea to dedicate one machine to running OS X Server:

http://www.apple.com/osx/server/

depending on how big the business is.

As for cloud hosting, there's no real difference between Macs and Windows for that: all the big providers provide both. However, personally I do not trust and would not agree to work with a cloud service for a business yet. You have no control over things and when it doesn't work you just sit there twiddling your thumbs.
