North West CompanyNorth West Company
• Much less hierarchical or “top-down” than the HBC.
• The “Montreal partners” stayed in Montreal and traded the furs to London
• The “wintering partners” stayed in the North West and did the actual trading and trapping.
• They were partners, not employees and thus shared in the profits the NWC made.
