seal

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

'document' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'impressive way to complete a business' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'way' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is present in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
'business' could be 'el' (el is a kind of business) and 'el' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for seal that I've seen before include "A mammal; a fastening" , "making an impression" , "Amphibious fish-eating sea mammal" , "Sea beast - authenticating mark" , "Sea mammal in sale" .)
