Means business (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agency

I believe this is a double definition.

'means' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'business' is the second definition.
(agency is a kind of business)

(Other definitions for agency that I've seen before include "Bureau; instrumentality" , "Office or business of one who does business for others" , "Cagney (anag.)" , "Travel --; dating --" , "Organisation providing a particular service" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Globe and Mail, the Evening Standard, The Guardian, The Sun and The Sunday Times.
