Rated wrongly by right businessman (6)
I believe the answer is:
trader
'businessman' is the definition.
(I know that trader is a type of businessman)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for trader that I've seen before include "One buys and sells" , "Dealer who buys and sells" , "He buys and sells goods" , "Tarred the dealer badly" , "Tarred like merchant" .)
