Firm in Peru in trouble gets to recover (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recoup

'to recover' is the definition.
('recoup' can be a synonym of 'recover')

'firm in peru in trouble' is the wordplay.
'firm' becomes 'co' (a firm is a company).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'in trouble' indicates anagramming the letters.
'peru' is an anagram of 'reup'.
'co' going within 'reup' is 'RECOUP'.

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for recoup that I've seen before include "Reimburse or compensate" , "recover money" , "Get back (outlay)" , "Win back" , "Regain (expenditure)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
