I'm confused with the use of 'involve' and ‘involved’.
Should it be:
- The company is involve in trading and marketing
or:
- The company is involved in trading and marketing.

2 is correct. The infinitive of this verb is “to be involved”, so it will be involved in any tense. You can think of “involved” as an adjective with this usage.
I was involved
I am involved
I will be involved
I had been involved
etc.
Don’t confuse it with the verb “to involve”
