VOC

The Dutch East India company (Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie) was a instrument that the Dutch government created in order to be able to administrate its growing colonies. The VOC acted as a private company and issued shares to its owners. This also allowed Amsterdam for a while to become the center of world trade.
