Sure you can.  You'll need to limit callers abilities based on which
company they work for.  You could do this by including the contexts of
the companies.

For instance, lets say you have a phone in sip.conf defined.  The
context=basic-comp1

[basic-comp1]
include => voicemail
include => context_company_1

This will only allow the caller to match to extension 200 in company 1
and access to voicemail.

More information about extensions.conf can be found at

(chapter 5) and http://www.google.com.
