I inquired about getting a static IP(s) for a small business, and only v4 is available.... and that was this year!

Personally, I'm not a great fan of IPv6, but this says more about your provider than anything else.

Assuming you mean for a VPS, the majority of providers provide IPv6, and a good many would advertise your IPv6 prefix and route it to your box for a nominal fee. It's far cheaper to do anycast IPv6 than IPv4 because of the cost of IPv4 address space.

If you actually meant on-site for a business, that again depends on your provider, but again most providers should be able to give you a static IPv6 prefix from their own range if they're able to provide you a static IPv4 address. If not, you can always tunnel IPv6 to your site.
