Businessman's initial stretch for violation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breach

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

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

'businessman's initial stretch' is the wordplay.
'businessman's initial' becomes 'b' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'stretch' becomes 'reach' (synonyms).
'b'+'reach'='BREACH'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for breach that I've seen before include "Failure to follow the rules" , "part of firearm, say" , "Non-observance" , "The breaking of a law or agreement" , "Gap (in a wall/barrier)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
