As with most "extra s" possessives, style can be dictated by the way the Word is spoken in context. A singular "business" would gain an "apostrophe s" and the Word "business's" will sound exactly like the plural "businesses". For the plural possessive, unless we add a third "s" sound, many users would simply write "businesses' ." A more obvious example of this informal practice would be the Word "accessories", which is very unlikely to pick up an unwieldy extra "s" (z sound) at its end.
