Income from the right early-start locale (7)
I believe the answer is:
revenue
'income' is the definition.
(revenue is a kind of income)
'the right early-start locale' is the wordplay.
'the right' becomes 'R' (common abbreviation).
'early-start' becomes 'e' (start of the word 'early-').
'locale' becomes 'venue' (synonyms).
'r'+'e'+'venue'='REVENUE'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for revenue that I've seen before include "profit" , "Return" , "A country's income as from taxes" , "made?" , "Gross business income" .)
