Deal with business issue (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

concern

I believe this is a triple definition!

'deal with' is the first definition.
(eg a book concerning or dealing with a topic)

'business' is the second definition.
(eg 'none of your concern', 'none of your business')

'issue' is the third definition.
(both can mean a problem or difficulty)

(Other definitions for concern that I've seen before include "Feeling of anxiety or sympathy" , "Affair" , "Firm - interest" , "Business - anxiety" , "Relate to; anxiety" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
