The settlement of Virginia was organised by the Virginia Company which was set up by royal charter in 1606. The company comprised mostly businessmen, wealthy gentlemen and politicians. The aim of the Virginia Company stockholders was financial profit -they hoped to exploit the wealth of the new land, in particular they hoped for gold and silver in similar quantities to those found by the Spanish in South America.
