omaisuuskaupassa

Omaisuuskaupassa is a Finnish term used in legal and financial contexts to indicate that an action or transaction takes place as part of an asset sale. The word is a compound of omaisuus (assets, property) and kauppa (trade, shop) with the inessive suffix -ssa, yielding "in the asset trade" or "in the asset sale." The phrase is most common in formal documents such as bankruptcy proceedings, liquidation reports, or corporate reorganizations, where the debtor's or estate's assets are sold to satisfy creditors or to reorganize the business.

In practice, omaisuuskaupassa refers to the process of distributing or selling property holdings as a unit or package, which may include real estate, machinery, inventory, receivables, and intangible assets. Sales can be conducted through auctions, direct negotiations, or bidding processes overseen by a trustee or administrator (konkursipesänhoitaja or pesänhoitaja). The term emphasizes the assets dealt with rather than the operations of the business.

The usage is limited outside professional contexts; everyday language would more likely say "omaisuuden myynti" or "myynti konkurssipesässä." See also: omaisuus, konkurssi, pesä.
