The acting company that Shakespeare was with for most of his working life changed its name to the king's men in 1603 when King James succeeded to the throne and took over sponsorship of the company.
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.
The person that wrote Romeo and Juliet is William Shakespeare.
The only thing that William Shakespeare left his wife (Anne) in his will was "the second best bed".
Five of William Shakespeare's major accomplishments were writing Romeo and Juliet, building the Globe Theater, creating the Chamberlain's Men acting troupe, buying New Place, the second-largest home in Stratford, and having his collection of 154 sonnets published. Shakespeare was married to Anne Hathaway and they had they had 3 children.
We do not know how many companies he may have worked for before he became a partner in one. Once he did become a partner, he was with the same company (although under several names) for almost 20 years. So there is no way of telling which was the first company he worked with or the second or the third, and if you are talking about companies he had a share in, there was only ever one.

Judith was William Shakespeare's second daughter. She was the twin of Hamnet- Shakespeare's son.

His second child was a twin. Their names were Hamnet and Judith.
They financed him a new theater
There seems to be some confusion here. A theatre is a building where plays are performed. Shakespeare bought a share in one such theatre in 1599 and in a second one in 1608. As a part-owner, he got a tenth of any rentals paid to these theatres by any acting companies that played there.The thing was that the owners of the theatres all belonged to the same acting company, although not everyone in the acting company had shares in the theatre building. And this acting company was in fact the best customer of the two theatres. But the acting company had been formed five years before Shakespeare had an interest in any theatres, and Shakespeare was a charter member of the acting company when it formed as The Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1594. The same group reformed as The King's Men in 1603. To summarize:Theatre=building. Shakespeare owned a share in two (Globe and Blackfriars); there were about 7 sharers who had unequal shares (Richard and Cuthbert Burbage owned 25% each)Theatre or Acting Company=group of actors. Shakespeare owned a share in one, called The Lord Chamberlain's Men 1594-1603 and The King's Men after 1603; there were about 12 sharers each with an equal share.
