Try :

SELECT companies.company_id,companies.company_name,COUNT(users.id)
FROM companies, users
WHERE companies.id = users.company_id
group by companies.id

If you want to get all companies even if they don't have any users yet use OUTER JOIN

SELECT c.company_id, c.name company_name, COUNT(u.id) no_of_users
  FROM companies c LEFT JOIN users u
    ON c.company_id = u.company_id
 GROUP BY c.company_id, c.name

Sample output:

| COMPANY_ID | COMPANY_NAME | NO_OF_USERS |
|------------|--------------|-------------|
|          1 |     Company1 |           3 |
|          2 |     Company2 |           2 |
|          3 |     Company3 |           0 |

select Companies.company_id,Companies.name,count(Users .id) from Companies,Users where Companies=company_id  and Users =company_id group by company_id
