> Worst case buying it at my expense Please don't ever spend your own money on stuff for a business you have no ownership of This is absolutely not a behavior

  I think I'll pass on this and will do what's reasonable. Nothing wrong with doing something to benefit yourself. I even wrote software for a non-software company I worked at a couple decades ago, cause it meant sitting most of the day reading programming books instead of sweaty running between shelves without a clue (storage job). Buying a PC as an infra unit is a bit different and may have implications, but depends on a situation.

  Also, as a business, don't allow an employee to buy something at their own expense and use it for your business. One place I worked an employee bought a domain for a particular marketing promotion. Promotion was successful, and the site grew into a life of its own, and was even promoted from the main product. The domain showed up on Google search results, etc. The company had lots of users but wasn't too successful financially, and a few employees including that one were laid off. Six months later the domain suddenly pointed to the new product that person created after leaving the company. We removed the links from our product to that site, but other than that there wasn't a great deal we could do.
