limited liability company
c-corporation
s-corporation
sole proprietorship

Explanation:

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a flexible business structure that offers limited liability protection (shielding personal assets from business debts) which aligns with the requirement of not wanting personal liability. It also has relatively simple management and tax - filing requirements compared to some corporate structures. A C - Corporation has double - taxation (corporate income tax and shareholder dividend tax) and more complex regulations. An S - Corporation has restrictions on shareholders (e.g., in the US, only certain types of shareholders are allowed, and non - US citizens can be an issue in some cases, though the problem doesn't specify the country's S - Corp rules in detail, but LLC is more straightforward in terms of international partners). A Sole Proprietorship offers no limited liability.

Answer:

Limited Liability Company
