Hard; company (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

firm

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">hard</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(similar in meaning)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">company</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(firm can mean a company or business)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for firm that I've seen before include "Not soft or yielding to pressure" , "decided" , "Solid; secure" , "Solid - business" , "Resistant to pressure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
