Helped financially, supplied with pounds and always getting on (9)

'helped financially' is the definition.
(as in leveraging funds against an investment)

'pounds and always getting on' is the wordplay.
'pounds' becomes 'L' (L can represent the monetary pound).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'always' becomes 'ever' (synonyms).
'getting on' becomes 'aged' (getting on can mean getting older).
'l'+'ever'+'aged'='LEVERAGED'

'supplied with' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
