## Endpoints

* `businessTypes.list`

## Filters

Passed as the first argument to `list()`. Any other key throws.

| Filter    | Description                         |
| --------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `country` | ISO country code - e.g., BE, NL, FR |

## Methods

### `forCountry()`

```php
forCountry(string $countryCode): array
```

Get business types for a specific country

* `$countryCode` — ISO country code (e.g., "BE", "NL")

### `list()`

```php
list(array $filters = [], array $options = []): array
```

List business types for a country

The specification does not mark `country` as required, but business types are country-specific legal forms, so the SDK asks for one rather than guess what the API does without it.

* `$filters` — `country`
* `$options` — Not supported — the endpoint has no paging or sorting

**Throws** `\InvalidArgumentException` When country is missing, or another key or option is passed
