Q: What is the difference between a DA and a ANS?

A General partnership with shared liability (DA) and A general partnership with joint and several liability (ANS) is a company where personal liability is shared between multiple people. A general partnership with joint and several liability (ANS) is a model whereby a lender can demand the entire debt be repaid by one of the owners, and so it’s up to the partners to organise this between themselves. In a general partnership with shared liability (DA), the owners collectively have an unlimited and personal liability for the entire company’s debt, but each partner can only be made liable for their share of the liability. There is no capital requirement, and the owners cannot be employed by the business.

You can easily become a customer using other types of organisations such as a general partnership with joint and several liability, general partnership with shared liability (DA) and foundations.
