Does each company have a separate dnis?

  exten => 2200,1,Goto(company1,s,1)
  exten => 2201,1,Goto(company2,s,1)

[company1]
;Do stuff
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Background(Welcome-msg)
include => this-company-phones

[company2]
;Do stuff
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Background(Welcome-msg)
include => this-company-phones

If you know what channel pertains to who, than you coould use the zap 
contexts to control them.
