Venice Company

The Venice Company was an English chartered trading company established in 1583 to monopolise on trade in and around the Venetian colonies in the Mediterranean Sea.^[1]

In 1592, the Venice Company merged with the Turkey Company to form the renowned Levant Company, which went on to regulate English and Ottoman trade for the following few centuries until its decline and dissolution in 1825.^[2]
