This creates a mixed risk environment for buyers: most suppliers maintain stable operations, but some smaller firms may struggle with cash flow during downturns. Buyers should conduct financial health checks during RFPs, prioritize suppliers with diversified revenue streams, and incorporate termination or performance safeguards into multi-year rental agreements to mitigate service continuity risks.
