Get a man mixed up with big business (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

magnate

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

'big business' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'get a man mixed up' is the wordplay.
'mixed up' indicates anagramming the letters.
'get'+'a'+'man'='getaman'
'getaman' is an anagram of 'MAGNATE'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for magnate that I've seen before include "Mogul" , "Fat cat" , "Fellow with a lot of money" , "Wealthy figure" , "Baron" .)
