Question 130: Two people own a mortgage company. The same two people own more than 50%, but less than 80%, of a title company. The title company performs most its work for the mortgage company. Another entity owns the balance of the title company and provides a 401(k) for itself and the title company. Our client is the mortgage company. Is this an affiliated service group? I've read that banks and other financial institutions are not considered to be A-Orgs, but I don't know if this applies to mortgage companies. |
Answer: This question, like many traditional ASG questions, turns on the definition of a service organization. If a business is not a service organization, it cannot be a "first service organization" or an "A-Org." |
