Abstract: The «Compañía de Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados» was made by the silk craftsmen in 1772, but the General Board of Commerce changed its nature to authorize all the social classes to take part in share-holders. Although that circumstance favoured its growth, it laid the foundations of its final failure to provoke a serious conflict between the craftsmen sector, who exercised sole right the managines charges, and the rest of share-holders, which fundamental discord motive was the loss suffered in the commercial crisis of 1779–82. Anyway, the preservation of its private documentation has made it possible to analyse its manufacturing activity and the result of its business; the commercialization of the silk textile in Cádiz stands out.
