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).

Remind me never to buy anything from said company...
