# GET /customers/{customer_id}/businesses

**List businesses for a customer**

Returns a paginated list of businesses for a customer. Use the query parameters to page through results.

By default, Paddle returns businesses that are `active`. Use the `status` query parameter to return businesses that are archived.

**Required permissions:** `business.read`

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `customer_id` | string | required | Paddle ID of the customer entity to work with. (pattern: `^ctm_[a-z\d]{26}$`) |

## Query parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | array | optional | Return only the IDs specified. Use a comma-separated list to get multiple entities. |
| `after` | string | optional | Return entities after the specified Paddle ID when working with paginated endpoints. Used in the `meta.pagination.next` URL in responses for list operations. |
| `per_page` | integer | optional | Set how many entities are returned per page. Paddle returns the maximum number of results if a number greater than the maximum is requested. Check `meta.pagination.per_page` in the response to see how many were returned.

Default: `50`; Maximum: `200`. (Max: 200) |
| `order_by` | string | optional | Order returned entities by the specified field and direction (`[ASC]` or `[DESC]`). For example, `?order_by=id[ASC]`.

Valid fields for ordering: `id`. |
| `status` | array | optional | Return entities that match the specified status. Use a comma-separated list to specify multiple status values. |
| `search` | string | optional | Return entities that match a search query. Searches all fields, including contacts, except `status`, `created_at`, and `updated_at`. (Max length: 100) |
