Klienskör

Klienskör is a term used in Swedish-language business discourse to denote the circle of clients of a firm—the firm's clientele. The concept focuses on who the firm serves, how revenue is concentrated, and how the client base changes over time. While not widely standardized in dictionaries, it appears in management reports, consultancy analyses, and professional-services discussions as shorthand for client composition.

Etymology and usage notes: The word combines klient (client) with kör (circle or group) from Swedish. It is similar in meaning to “client base” in English and is commonly used in discussion of revenue sources, market focus, and client-management strategy. Analysts may refer to the core klienskör versus more peripheral clients to assess stability and growth potential.

In practice: The klienskör is analyzed to assess diversification, risk, and growth opportunities. Firms may distinguish core clients from others and monitor revenue share by client. The concept is used in planning, pricing, and client-retention strategies, and may appear in statements such as that the klienskör shows a high concentration of revenue, or that broader outreach is needed to expand the klienskör.

Limitations: The term is informal and industry-specific, and care must be taken to protect client confidentiality when discussing real examples. It may not be understood outside Nordic business contexts.
