Got AttributeError when attempting to get a value for field `name` on serializer `BusinessSerializer`

I am getting this error. when trying to save a record using rest

AttributeError at /business/ Got AttributeError when attempting to get a value for field name on serializer BusinessSerializer. The serializer field might be named incorrectly and not match any attribute or key on the User instance. Original exception text was: 'User' object has no attribute 'name'.

why is trying to find name field on user object when business object already has that field
