The first recorded company is often considered to be the Dutch East India Company (VOC), established in 1602. It was formed to manage trade in the East Indies and was the first to issue shares and bonds, allowing it to raise capital from investors. This model laid the groundwork for modern corporations and stock markets. Companies like the VOC marked a significant shift in business organization and investment practices.
