Problem setting foreign key

I'm having a difficult time creating a foreign key in the businesses listed below. The trouble is with the last foreign key to the deals table. I learned this by removing the keys and re-adding them one at a time. It fails when I add the last key.

Please let me know what I'm missing.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS deals(
deals_id VARCHAR(40) PRIMARY KEY,
businesses_id VARCHAR(40),
price DECIMAL(9, 2),
created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT now()
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS businesses (
businesses_id VARCHAR(40) PRIMARY KEY,
business_name VARCHAR(255),
addresses_id VARCHAR(40),
phones_id VARCHAR(40),
emails_id VARCHAR(40),
company_url VARCHAR(255),
naics_codes_id INT,
FOREIGN KEY (addresses_id) REFERENCES addresses(addresses_id),
FOREIGN KEY (phones_id) REFERENCES phones(phones_id),
FOREIGN KEY (emails_id) REFERENCES emails(emails_id),
FOREIGN KEY (naics_codes_id) REFERENCES naics_codes(naics_codes_id),
FOREIGN KEY (businesses_id) REFERENCES deals(businesses_id)
);
