I believe the answer is:
purchase
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'procure' is the first definition.

'leverage' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for purchase that I've seen before include "Acquisition" , "Procure" , "become an owner" , "that has gone through the barcode reader?" , "Buy something" .)
