You don’t need a ton of math for a business major, but if you ever intend to get an MBA, math skills will be important since you will need to take the GMAT to get in. Calc 1 and statistics should be the courses you aim for, at the minimum (although the minimum is truly all that you need). Take calculus before statistics because it gives it greater meaning. The point of taking math courses is so that you can prove that you can think quantitatively and understand the data that will be presented to you, in any field of business.
That said, if you’re truly opposed to math then you would want to aim for marketing or management. Those have the worst business prospects of the bunch and you’re better off with a major in finance, accounting, risk management, or supply chain management. Human resource management I’m not too sure about overall.
