Arts duo, working with city gent, distributed business (7,8)
I believe the answer is:
cottage industry
'distributed business' is the definition.
'cottage industry' can be an answer for 'business' (I have seen 'Small business' mean 'cottage industry' so perhaps 'business' could also mean 'cottage industry'). I'm unsure of the 'distributed' bit.
'arts duo working with city gent' is the wordplay.
'working with' indicates anagramming the letters (working with the letters).
'arts'+'duo'='artsduo'
'city'+'gent'='citygent'
'artsduo' with its letters mixed up with 'citygent' can make 'COTTAGE INDUSTRY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cottage industry that I've seen before include "country practice" , "Small business" , "Working from home" , "small-scale business" , "homework" .)
