Trade companies are mostly world-gen only entities focused on lucrative trade (but their positions, see variable positions, have the necessary flags set to give quests to adventurers in adventure mode). Their Headquarters - a counting house - will usually be founded in a town, but could occasionally also be found in a forest retreat (ie. during a time the forest retreat was taken over by humans). Their Headquarters cannot switch ownership. Branches (or trade outposts), which are also based in counting houses, can be founded in other sites (including forest retreats, Fortresses and dark fortresses) and can either be build or purchased and these counting houses can switch ownership (ie. due to bandits having taken over a counting house and using it as a base of operation). In worldgen, traveling merchants and companies piggy-back on the more abstract industry/trade simulation that links most sites. At their peaks, the companies will form multiple branches (or trade outposts) in other civs along the trade routes to facilitate more cross-civ link formation.
Trade companies are distinct from mercenary orders, although these are sometimes also called companies.
