But the exclamation mark here suggests it is an imperative.

With the new context perhaps

Una versión absolutamente libre.
"Business" podría referirse a trabajo, pero a cualquier otra cosa también, por ejemplo, al uso de redes sociales. Sería mejor ver el aviso completo.

No había visto que se trata de un "smart phone", así es que he pensado en opciones más adecuadas:

-"Si buscas la excelencia, XXX (marca/modelo) es la respuesta"

-"Si la excelencia no es suficiente para tí, prueba XXX"

-"Tú, XXX y el mundo (de las finanzas)"

-"Con XXX, el mundo de los negocios a tus pies"

-"XXX gestiona tus finanzas"

-"XXX el mejor gestor de tu economía"

-"Desde tu XXX no hay fronteras"

-"La eficacia a tu servicio"

-"XXX simplifica y mejora tu vida (empresarial)"

-"XXX te hace brillar con luz propia"

-"XXX, tu mejor aliado en el mundo de las finanzas"

-"XXX , tu mejor tarjeta de presentación en el mundo (empresarial)"
