Most distributors, manufacturers, and industrial businesses did not choose to take on risk. They inherited it. The relationship that lives in one rep's head. The price matrix nobody has touched since the last owner. The buyer who wanted to reorder at 9 p.m. and could not. None of these show up on a balance sheet. All of them show up in valuation, margin, and the accounts that quietly stop calling.
