You can have a conversation with your manager, and ask that the conversation be kept confidential. I doubt that you are the only person that knows she’s conducting outside business from her office.
I’m too old to be worried about people thinking I’m a snitch if something unethical is happening under my nose. I worried about it more when I was younger, and that timidity did not serve me well in the long run. You can tell your employer that you believe the reason she wants you moved is so that it’s easier for her to conduct her new business in private. To me, the two are related, and even if they weren’t, it seems like information they would want to know. She could be developing more new business for this company if she weren’t spending that time working for herself. It really is money out of their pocket.

Her behavior is also affecting you, which hurts your productivity. You may even leave over this. The company deserves to know.
