The London Company and the Plymouth Company were English joint-stock companies established in the early 17th century to promote the colonization of North America. The London Company focused on settling in the Virginia area, leading to the establishment of Jamestown in 1607, while the Plymouth Company aimed to explore and settle parts of New England. Both companies were granted charters by King James I, allowing them to claim land and govern their respective territories. Their efforts laid the groundwork for the expansion of English settlements in North America.

The Virginia Company of London (otherwise known as the London Company), under the leadership of Bartholomew Gosnold, was given permission by James I of England to settle and trade in Virginia. This company was a subsidiary of the larger Virginia Company that also owned the Plymouth Company that settle Massachusetts.
The Virginia Company was a joint stock company chartered by King James I of England. The Virginia Company of London successfully established the territory of Jamestown, while the Virginia Company of Plymouth was to establish a colony further north. The Plymouth Company failed when their colony of Popham, in modern-day Maine, failed in 1608. Plymouth, Massachusetts was established by the religious separatists known as the Pilgrims after securing a land grant from Sir Edwin Sandys, a major stockholder in the failing Plymouth Company. So technically, the Virginia Company sponsored both the Jamestown and Plymouth colonies, but the latter was a bit more unofficial.
Plymouth Company was created in 1606.
