When an entrepreneur thinks about the value of their company, the focus almost always goes to revenue, margins, EBITDA and growth prospects. Much less often, the starting point is an apparently operational question: how much capital is tied up in inventory?

An out-of-policy discount needs their approval. The sales team manages the relationship, but when the decision really matters, the founder steps in.
