Crossword Genius

Someone to do business with? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

partner

I believe this is a double definition.

'someone' is the first definition.
(partner is a kind of someone)

'do business with?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for partner that I've seen before include "Husband or wife" , "Mate or collaborator" , "Either one of a couple" , "Companion at bridge, dance, or home" , "Ally" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
