I’d like to show a single specific local business on a google map (API V3) with the associated reviews, directions etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for doco or code examples?

For a single known business, you can use the business’s CID (customer ID) code to display the map with local info.
La Palma in San Francisco:
http://maps.google.com/maps?cid=16753855001018446220
How do you get the CID? Do a search for the business on Google Maps and find the business in the result list. The CID will appear in the query arguments of the URL for the listing.
Note: This isn’t in the Google Maps API, or documented anywhere I could find.
