Is there an official list of trading companies in the realms and some information on them?
I'm espescially interested in trading companies that are currently active in Cormyr (As per 1374 DR).

| The 1e and 2e campaign box sets have a list and then there's others scattered around in various sourceboooks/novels. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Cormyr-specific trading companies receive some treatment in Volo's Guide to Cormyr [which is available as a free PDF download at WotC].
Ed's managed to detail the odd couple in his replies here at Candlekeep.
See the "Play the Market" section of Power of Faerūn as well.

| Some of the shadier ones are nicely detailed in "Cloak and Dagger". |

I was about to recommend that book, myself.  |

| Also, two of Rand's travelogues has information about some caravans and trading companies. |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
