Just wondering how the link types are meant to be used. I added a new type under Database > Link Types called Business Resources and want to display that type on a web page. Do I need to use categories instead?

Link types indicate the kind of thing you are linking to; categories are for what the link is about.
So business resources is a reasonable use of a link type. It would make the most sense if you had business resources in different categories. If there are no categories of business resources, then you could use a category instead.
To show all the links of a type, use an iterator like this:
<ul>
<w:kb:item:each type="linktype">
<li><a href="<w:url />"><w:name /></a></li>
</w:kb:item>
</ul>
If you wanted to divide the list by category, use something like this:
<w:kb:category:each>
<h2>Category: <w:name /></h2>
<ul>
<w:kb:item:each type="linktype" category="current">
<li><a href="<w:url />"><w:name /></a></li>
</w:kb:item:each>
</ul>
</w:kb:category:each>
There's a much more elaborate example here, for a category page that list items of all types that are assigned to that category:
