> we're not actively trying to backdoor you What is there to backdoor? Why can't businesses just pay money and get product and not overcomplicate this?

  The "not overcomplicate" way is to buy Microsoft, DELL or Lenovo. I'd assume it would need near 0 paperwork for that. In most companies if you want to buy from a vendor that has no prior business relation you'll need to do the paperwork.

    As a former founder and likely future founder, I'd just f it and buy whatever employees need to get their work done.

      It could work very well until there is an employee that intentionally or unintentionally leaks trade secret or customer data, and the police track it down to a laptop without any screening at purchase or any security policy set up by IT (if there is an IT department).

  Because as companies get bigger they worry more and more about the long tail of risk. They do this for many reasons, but generally predicting the risk of very low probability events is very difficult, so they don’t understand the risk vs cost tradeoff as well as they think.
