Enstakshandel

Enstakshandel refers to a specific type of transaction or business practice. The term is of Swedish origin, with "enstaka" meaning "single" or "individual" and "handel" meaning "trade" or "commerce." Therefore, enstakshandel can be understood as a single, discrete transaction or a business dealing involving a solitary item or service.

This concept distinguishes itself from bulk purchases or ongoing contractual agreements. Instead, it emphasizes the individual nature of a specific exchange. For example, buying a single piece of fruit from a market stall would be an enstakshandel, whereas subscribing to a monthly fruit box delivery service would not.

In a business context, enstakshandel might describe a one-off sale of a particular asset, a solitary consultancy service provided on a project basis, or a unique procurement order. It typically involves a defined beginning and end, with no expectation of future, recurring dealings based solely on that single event. The pricing and terms are usually negotiated or set for that specific transaction. Understanding enstakshandel helps clarify the nature of individual commercial interactions as opposed to broader commercial relationships.
