Answer 3

Why can't you say it the way your first said it, that you went on to "do business with" the company?  Even the thesaurus doesn't have a word to use instead of that phrase.

Otherwise, how about, "work with" or "share in a joint venture with the company" or, "work hand and hand with the company" or, "participate in doing business with the company" or "we then went on to being a client of the company" or, "we then went on to having that company as a client".   Hard to give thoughts when it's not really clear what it's all about.
