snatch somebody's business (away)
Explanation:
Думаю, что нейтральный вариант, предложенный Денисом, отражает смысл и вполне впишется в статью, если к нему еще добавить by force и illegally, а может, и ruthlessly для густоты красок. Разнообразия ради подошел бы, наверное, и синонимичный, но более грозный и тяжелый, не жаргонный глагол usurp, однако в русском "отжать" ощущается, как верно заметил сам аскер, грубость применяемой силы по отношению к объекту захвата, и, возможно, насильственные действия со стороны субъекта захвата (банды, коррумпированные власти, конкуренты и т.д.). В художественной литературе и газетных статьях мне не раз встречался более резкий и емкий глагол, который, на мой взгляд, можно использовать в сочетании с бизнесом. Словарь сообщает о том, что snatch means stealing something, usually by force, in a rude and eager way. По крайней мере, регистр, на который обратил внимание Danya, станет чуть более разговорным и передаст тот оттенок бесцеремонности и нахальности, с которым отбирают что-либо.

Из интервью с ИП из Непала о туристическом бизнесе в США и своей стране (http://www.cybernepal.com.np/article.php?aid=4194):
It’s very easy to register your business in the States, so these agencies basically have an office in Nepal and they are selling their tickets to people in the States. Strictly in a business perspective, agencies like these are spoiling our market. I feel it should be only U.S based agencies that should be providing service to the people in the USA. I mean how would they feel if we came to Nepal and snatch their business? I’m sure they wouldn’t like that, so why should we have to tolerate such behaviors? I wish the government would find a way to regulate this matter.

Fourth, there is a “bandwagon” effect, with three kinds of pressure on top executives. When many other firms are making acquisitions, financial analysts and the business media may criticize more cautious managers for undue conservatism. Thus, shareholders will fear that their company is being left behind, as they see opportunities for their business being snatched by rivals.

For one example, think of the employees at Portland General Electric, an Oregon utility company acquired by Enron four years before it went bankrupt. Many long-standing employees there lost huge chunks of their retirement funds and still face an uncertain old age. All because their business was snatched up by a company with a rotten core.
Example sentence(s):- When the gangster Al Capone [b]had his business snatched away from him[/b] with the repealing of prohibition, there wasn’t anything left for him to do except maybe to sit in the corner and eat baloney sandwiches all day.
- One of the stars will be the bulldog attorney Chet Pleban, who recently won $1,000,000 for 83 - year - old widow Opal Henderson, who had her property and business snatched from her in St. Lou is by a group of investors.
