Just one, Richard Burbage's company. They started out as the Lord Chamberlain's Men but changed patrons and names to the King's Men. They were still the same company though.

What company did Shakespeare become involved with by 1594?
The Lord Chamberlain's Men was an acting company formed in 1594. William Shakespeare was one of its charter members. Most of its partners had previously been partners in other acting companies, particularly Lord Strange's Men, which had gone broke due to the long theatre closures in 1593-4. Apparently this was not true of Shakespeare; as far as we can tell this was the first time he was a partner in an acting company.

What was the name of Shakespeare second acting group?
We are not exactly sure which acting company Shakespeare started his career with: Queen Elizabeth's Men, Lord Strange's Men, Suffolk's Men, Pembroke's Men or Derby's Men have all been mentioned as possible acting companies Shakespeare worked for before 1594. He may have worked for all of them for all we know. But what we do know is that in 1594 Shakespeare was made a partner in a new company made up mostly of actors from Lord Strange's men, and it is this company which Shakespeare worked with for the next twenty years or so, although the personnel and even the name of the company changed from time to time. It is known usually as the Lord Chamberlain's Men or the King's Men, but it was throughout the same company. So it is impossible to say which acting group was Shakespeare's second, but it is certain that the Chamberlain's/King's Men was his last.
