I do business - perfect! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ideal

'perfect' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'i do business' is the wordplay.
'do business' becomes 'deal' (as in doing a business deal).
'i'+'deal'='IDEAL'

(Other definitions for ideal that I've seen before include "Exemplary" , "Cutting/stabbing weapons" , "Benchmark" , "fanciful" , "Optimal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
