you mean "I'll hook you up."
"Hook it up to you" means attaching it to you, like if you were in a hospital and they gave you an IV you would say they hooked it up to you. Definitely not what you mean here!

@J3N3A Oops! Thank you for pointing it out. I see. Can I say "I'll hook you up to it"? "it" means "the business".
- English (US)
No!
hook up to: connect something physically to something. "My new oven is here! I am just waiting for them to hook it up to gas, and then I can try it out!"
hook up with: have sexual contact with someone. "I met a great guy at the party!" "Did you hook up with him?" "No, but we're going out on a date Friday night so maybe then!"
hook [object] up: Help someone out by giving them something or connecting them to someone. "I love my food delivery service." "Do they have any friend discounts?" "Yeah, I think so. I'll hook you up."
So in your case:
"I know a guy selling drugs. He's looking for help with his business. You interested?"
"Yeah, can you hook me up?" "I got you. I'll hook you up."
