The towing capacity I'm seeing for a 2020 Hyundai Elantra is only showing up as 750lbs, but this can possibly differ with your specific model so you'll want to doublecheck your owner's manual. 750lbs isn't likely going to be enough to really tow a trailer so you can try to haul items for your business using a cargo carrier and/or a roof rack roof basket or box.
If you don't have a trailer hitch then you can use the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24939. This has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening so you'd have to use a cargo carrier with a matching shank like the Thule Arcos Enclosed Cargo Carrier # TH25YE. If you do end up finding a trailer that falls within your Elantra's capacity you'll also need a 4-pole wire harness like part # 118692.
For a roof rack you can use the following components:
Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420
Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501
Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp and Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5069 # TH145069
With a roof rack in place you can then use a roof cargo box like the Thule Force XT L Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6357B.
