According to the definition you yourself quote, colleagues are people who work together. One's business partners, again according to the quotation in the answer, are the people who share the responsibility for the financial aspects of the business, not necessarily for its day-to-day operation.
If you are suggesting something formal, talking from position of rights or power, you may want to use more formal "Dear Colleagues" to make the argument stronger. If you are making a proposal, and want to downplay it as in "hey, it's an idea, a basis for further thinking and please judge it as such", a simple 'All,' would do a better job.
As I understand it, what prompted this question was the palatability of the phrase "my colleagues and me". I find that (re)grouping the phrase as "for my colleagues and me" renders it completely unremarkable. That is to say, the words as written don't get in the way of conveying the message.

However, colleagues are individuals who work together within the same organization or profession. They may have different roles, skills, or ranks but share common professional goals and collaborate in a work environment.
0 When occurring as object of a preposition like this, both my colleagues and me and my colleagues and I would be found in the formal English of standard speakers. Of course, there are always people who'd like to try and rationalise the facts of the language into what they feel would be a more sensible way of doing things.
