"Corporate colony" is often a term that is applied to colonies that were established and/or ran by joint-stock companies. For more information, refer to "What were joint-stock companies?" or similar.
The Corporate Colonies, were financed by businesses or wealthy individuals in which settlers would travel to the New World. After a period of time, the settlers would construct, build, farm, fish, and do various other task to help those in England make profits for their investments.
These types of colonies included Massachusetts (1620 - 1691); Rhode Island (1643 - 1776); Connecticut (1643 - 1776); Virginia (Jamestown, 1607 - 1624).
It should be noted that Massachusetts would be changed to a Royal Colony from 1691 - 1776; and Virginia would become a Royal Colony in 1624, and would remain that way until 1776.
It is a colony that is found by a king.
Corporate colonies were funded by joint-stocks and allowed the investors to have a say in how to run the colony. It was the least concreted to the king because anyone could have a say in how to run them.Royal colonies were under the direct authority of the king, he appointed a loyal governor to run the colony. It was the most strict form of colonization, in the aspect of how involved the king was.
