Here's a snippet form the Magento For B2B Commerce User Guide:

If Shared Catalog is enabled in the configuration, the original master catalog continues to be visible from the Admin, but only the “default” public shared catalog is visible from the storefront. In addition, custom catalogs can be created that are visible only to members of specific company accounts.

So, basically you need to:

1) Create a shared catalog,

2) Create a company, and

3) Assign that company to the shared catalog

This should get you where you want to be so you can see products again.

For the "default" shared catalog (basically, the one that guests are allowed to look at) you need to configure it to be a public catalog.

A public catalog...

Identifies the shared catalog that is available to all guest visitors and to logged-in customers who are not associated with a company. A “default” pubic shared catalog is created when Magento B2B is installed, but must be configured by the administrator. Only one public shared catalog can exist at a time.

To update the catalog details:

1) On the admin sidebar, hit catalog then, choose Shared Catalogs

2) On the actions dropdown select General Settings

3) Then change the type option to public
