The first country to establish a merchant company is often attributed to England with the formation of the East India Company in 1600. This company was granted a royal charter to trade in the East Indies and became a significant player in global trade. However, earlier merchant ventures existed in other regions, such as the Venetian Republic's trading companies in the Mediterranean.
