Here are some pros/cons to consider for a Multi Finance / Multi Logistic setup. Pros/Cons of Multi Finance / Multi Logistic Company Set-Up Pros Each legal entity can have its own general ledger and balance sheet. Income statements can be generated for the different logistics companies. Accounting user must go in and out of companies if there is a need to view or create transactions in more than one company.
