Intends to make money (5)
I believe the answer is:
means
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'intends' is the first definition.
('mean' can be a synonym of 'intend')
'money' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'to make' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for means that I've seen before include "Resources or money to support oneself" , "Vehicle" , "Imports" , "sufficient funds" , "Available resources" .)
