A apostrophy takes place of a letter, such as that's inplace of that is. Note the I becomes a '. It's really not difficult, hwy cant people grasp basic English." Adam

Wow. Ever heard of possessive? In this case it should be "company's" because it is referring to something the company owns. Looks like you need to work on your "basic English" comprehension yourself.
