If I understand this question well, you are asking how to interprete escaped markup not as text but as markup.

The answer is:

This cannot be done in pure XSLT 1.0 or XSLT 2.0 (in XSLT 3.0 / XPath 3.0 there might be a function to parse a string as XML).

To do this you need to write an extension function, that takes a string, parses this as XML document and returns the resulting XML document.

Therefore, instead of:

<xsl:value-of select="BusinessDescription"/>

the code that uses this extension function would look something like this:

<xsl:copy-of select="my:xml-parse(BusinessDescription)"/>

The extension function itself would be written in your favourite PL and will simply create an XmlDocument object and try to load the string (with a method such as LoadXml()), then return this XmlDocument as its result.

If you could post the XSL and XML (try to reduce them to the smallest code that still produces the problem) we could give a more accurate answer. One likely possibility is that your XSL does not produce the <html><body>...</body></html> tags.

Your HTML content should enclosed inside the <body>...</body> element.
