I believe the answer is:

corner shop

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

'it does business in more than one way' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'it does business in more than one way' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found in the answer.
'business' could be 'shop' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'shop' is found within the answer.
'way' could be 'r' (abbreviation for right) and 'r' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
