Corporatism isn't necessarily about business (although it is often linked with it) however you did describe a version of Corporatism (but the better word would be Corporativism) so in a way you did talk about Corporatism. However I personally, and although I do not have the right to say this, was looking forward to a discussion about Corporatism as a concept.
Corporatism is the organization of a society based on interest groups, often known as corporate groups be it agricultural, business, ethnic, labour, military, scientific institutions, etc. that are united together based on their common interests. As you can see, although business is a part of Corporatism it is not necessary for Corporatism to work. Of course based on this definition this means that Corporatism can be applied pretty much anywhere. There is progressive, liberal, fascist communitarian, socialist, and reactionary corporatism. You could probably make a form of corporatism that suits your own needs if you want, you could even implement some aspects of corporatism into your ideology (as I did).
What you describe is in fact corporatism, a type of corporatism in which business are the major interest groups and political power is consolidated only to them. In literal corporatism all interest groups from all types would be given major political power.
