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

'does business answer for boring leaflets?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'answer for boring leaflets?' is the wordplay.
'answer' becomes 'ans' (abbreviation for answer).
'for boring' is an insertion indicator (to bore something can mean to drill into it).
'leaflets?' becomes 'tracts' (I've seen this before).
'ans' put inside 'tracts' is 'TRANSACTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for transacts that I've seen is " Performs, carries out business".)
