Company with money, mostly for snakes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cobras

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

'snakes' is the definition.
(cobra is a kind of snake)

'company with money mostly' is the wordplay.
'company with' becomes 'co' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'money' becomes 'brass' (I've seen this in other clues).
'mostly' means to remove the last letter.
'brass' with its last letter taken away is 'bras'.
'co'+'bras'='COBRAS'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cobras that I've seen before include "Slippery creatures" , "Hooded snakes" , "Venomous tropical snakes" , "Carobs for the reptiles" , "snakes appear" .)
