There is no required degree; instead, you have to take the prerequisite courses which involve 1 year of general chemistry, 1 year of organic chemistry and 1 year of biology, all with labs. Some schools may also require biochemistry, physiology and/or anatomy - it varies by school so be sure to check the requirements of the schools you are interested in. While there is no required degree, it may be helpful to major in chemistry, as pharmacy and chemistry have a lot of overlap.
Yes, you can get into a PharmD program with a BS in business. A lot of the health sciences professional degree programs (M.D./D.O., O.D., D.D.S/D.M.D, PharmD, etc.) prefer diversity in their classes nowadays because it makes for a more well-rounded person, so a person with a nonscience degree might have an edge in this respect. I think that would be a very good degree for a pharmacist, especially if you plan to open your own pharmacy business.

In case someone jumps in with a wrong answer, I just wanted to say Vanessa is spot on. She deserves 10 points for that answer.
