Do you mean charters? Do you mean what were the different kinds of colonies?

Charter/corporation colonies: started by a group of investors (like the Virginia Company). Purpose was to make money.

Proprietary colonies: a proprietor or group of proprietors were chosen by the king and given some land.

Royal colonies: colonies under the direct control of the crown. Most colonies that started off as charter or proprietary colonies were eventually made royal colonies as the crown attempted to exert more control over the colonies in the late 1600s/early 1700s.
