        Google suggests to link to the REAL author, in this case you. Articles are written by persons, then if you are writing an article, research findings, etc, I would go with linking to your personal profile as the author "rel=author".

        If the article is related to your business, and you do not want any personal attribution, then set the author to your page.

        Hope that helps!

          The truth is that we're not entirely sure "AuthorRank" even exists, at least not yet, and not in the way most people mean it. Google+ certainly seems to have an impact on personalized rankings, especially time-sensitive (QDF) queries, and authorship mark-up is a nice thing to have, but whether rankings are boosted by the strength of an author's profile is an open question with circumstantial evidence at best, IMO.

          Right now, company profiles and author profiles have different advantages. A strong company profile might get a Google+ "brand box" in the SERPs, whereas a strong author profile (or, at least, a properly set up one) could get authorship thumbnails in individual searches. In most cases, though, that's still going to take other signals, like links, and isn't just a result of having a lot of followers.

          So, I think it depends on your goal. If you want your business to potentially register "brand" signals ("entity" signals may be a better way to say it), then building your G+ business profile is one piece of that puzzle. If you want to be seen as an influential individual and help your posts rank, then pushing your individual authorship signals and G+ account may be more advantageous. It really depends on what you want to accomplish long-term.
