Clientless

/ˈklaɪəntləs/ adjective

Definition

Having no clients; without a client base or customers.

Etymology

From 'client' + '-less' (suffix meaning 'without'). A straightforward negative formation used in business and professional contexts.

Kelly Says

A 'clientless' lawyer or therapist is facing a professional crisis—the success of service providers is literally measured by the size and loyalty of their client lists, so this word carries an undertone of failure.
