You can share to a different page from Pinterest business account. Choose the pin you want to share, go to the bottom-right corner ("send" sign) - Share this Pin - Facebook. On the top by default you'll see option "Share on News Feed or Story" and from there you can choose different options, including "Share on Page You Manage". If you have more than one Facebook business page, you can choose the one you need.
