Reina Burns · Answer 1

a) Limited liability company

Explanation:

Considering the options given, as an advisor the form of business that I would recommend is: limited liability company that is a structure in which the owners are not responsible with their personal assets for the company's debts as the three owners are concerned about this risk.

I would not advise the other forms of business because the sole proprietorship is a firm that is run by one person, the general partnership is a structure in which two or more people agree to share unlimited liability which means that they share all their personal assets and are responsible for any debt the company has with them and the master limited partnership is a company that trades securities in the market.
