Caracas Company - Caracas Company (English name) Real Compañía de Comercio de Caracas
A trading company based on the joint stock company system introduced by the Spanish Bourbon dynasty. It is also called the Guipúzcoa Company. The Spanish royal family was forced to reconsider the trade with the Indies based on the traditional floutas system, as the Dutch, French, and British made major advances into the Caribbean in the late 17th century, and as local merchants were increasingly opposed to the trade monopoly of Cadiz and Seville within Spain. The Caracas Company was founded in 1728 by merchants from Guipúzcoa (Basque Country) against this background, and was granted the right to trade directly with Venezuela, liberating the region from the smuggling of goods by the Dutch forces based in Curaçao, and contributing to the elimination of the cacao shortage in Spain.

スペイン・ブルボン王朝が導入した株式会社制にもとづく貿易会社。ギプスコア会社ともいう。スペイン王室は,17世紀後半のオランダ,フランス,イギリスによるカリブ海地域への大々的な進出,およびスペイン国内におけるカディス,セビリャの貿易独占に対する地方商人の反発の高まりに直面し,従来のフロータス制にもとづくインディアス貿易の再検討を迫られていた。カラカス会社は,こうした背景のもとで,1728年にギプスコア(バスク地方)の商人を中心に設立されたもので,ベネズエラ地方との直接貿易権を認可され,クラサオ島を拠点とするオランダ勢力の密貿易からベネズエラ地方を解放し,スペインにおけるカカオ不足の解消に貢献した。
