Answer
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
Reason — In an LLP, the liability of partners is limited to their agreed contributions to the LLP. Also, since there is no limit on the number of partners, an LLP can raise huge funds for expansion and growth of business. Hence, LLP best suits a company that requires expansion funding but does not want unlimited liability for its partners.
