Is loan arranged with credit union initially bad for company? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unsocial

'bad for company?' is the definition.

'is loan arranged with credit union initially' is the wordplay.
'arranged with' is an anagram indicator.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'credit union' is 'cu'.
'is'+'loan'='isloan'
'isloan' anagrammed with 'cu' can make 'UNSOCIAL'.

(Other definitions for unsocial that I've seen before include "These working hours inhibit the gregarious life" , "(Of working hours) falling outside the normal day" , "(Of work hours) outside the usual working day" , "not wanting to go with the crowd" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
