I believe the answer is:

commerce

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'business' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'begin right for any number to get involved' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'number' could be 'm' (M is an example) and 'm' is present in the answer.
'get' could be 'come' (synonyms) and 'come' is found within the remaining letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.
