Excited platoon up for final advance? (3-2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

top-up loan

'final advance?' is the definition.
(type of loan)

'excited platoon up' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates an anagram.
'platoon'+'up'='platoonup'
'platoonup' with letters rearranged gives 'TOP-UP LOAN'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for top-up loan that I've seen is " further advance".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
