How do I store which of the php checkboxes are checked into the database. What kind of field do I need to create in the database table. All my text fields are Varchar. I was thinking maybe bit?

I have a PHP page with text and Database fields.
This is the code that draws the checkbox:
<tr>
<td width="43"><label for="business_type">Salon</label></td>
<td width="30"><input type="checkbox" name="business_type[]" id="business_type" value="salon" /></td>
<td width="38"><label for="business_type">Mobile</label></td>
<td width="30"><input type="checkbox" name="business_type[]" id="business_type" value="mobile" /></td>
<td width="53"><label for="business_type">Student</label></td>
<td width="25"><input type="checkbox" name="business_type[]" id="business_type" value="student" /></td>
<td width="37"><label for="business_type">Other</label></td>
<td width="434"><input type="checkbox" name="business_type[]" id="business_type" value="other" /></td>
</tr>
This is the code that stores the texts fields in the database:
