Crack force in venture (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enterprise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'crack force' is the wordplay.
'crack' becomes 'enter' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'force' becomes 'prise' (I've seen this in other clues).
'enter'+'prise'='ENTERPRISE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enterprise that I've seen before include "Project, undertaking" , "drug business" , "Initiative - undertaking - business" , "business concern" , "Company" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
