Cease further trading, car's changing hands (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fold

'cease further trading' is the definition.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for fold that I've seen before include "Gather < church" , "go bankrupt, perhaps" , "Members of church" , "Crease" , "Pleat; sheep pen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
