<description>During the Late Medieval and the Early Modern period, Castile became one&#xd;
of the most powerful Kingdoms. The endogenous economic growth, the expansion of&#xd;
trade and financial activities, and the connection with international networks fostered a&#xd;
propitious environment to do business. Castilians and foreigners understood how&#xd;
convenient the creation of companies was: trade and financial companies were the best&#xd;
way to do business in a context of increasing competition. This chapter aims to explore&#xd;
the bases of these companies, since the establishment to the liquidation, and will analyze&#xd;
the importance of topics like the corporate and financial structure, the work management,&#xd;
the labor conflicts or failures. We’ll provide an overview about companies in a period of&#xd;
changes and challenges like the expansion through Europe and America.</description>
