The answer is: Individual stockholders

When a business adopt a corporation form, the personal assets of the stockholders cannot be touched by liabilities that might occurs if the business is failing.

The liquidation process is limited to the assets that exist in company. After all assets are fully liquidated but still cant fulfill all the liabilities, the creditors are forced to consider the remaining amount as a loss.
