Common Ownership Renders Companies Affiliated, Even When in Different Fields of Business; SBA No. SIZ-5943, Size Appeal of Perry Johnson & Associates

Appeal of the area office’s size determination is denied, where the area office reasonably reached an adverse inference from the appellant’s failure to provide financial, ownership, and management information about multiple firms that appeared to be affiliates, and where the appellant incorrectly argued that the firms were not affiliated because they operated in different lines of business under different NAICS codes, even though they were owned by the same individual.
