uploading file need a enctype="multipart/form-data" 

      <form action="{{ route('company.store') }}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"
             class="form-material">
               {{csrf_field()}}
          <div class="form-body">         
                 <h3 class="card-title">upload image</h3>
             <div class="form-group">
                <label class="control-label">image 1</label>
                <input type="file" name="image_path" class="form-control">
             </div>
          </div>
    </form>



Your Controller should look like this .


public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request,['image_path'=> 'required|image']);

        $company = new Company();
        if($request->hasFile('image_path'))
        {
      $company->image_path= $request->file('image_path')->store('company','public');
        }
        
        $company->save();

          return back()->with('success', 'Done!');

    }

To upload a file you need to add enctype="multipart/form-data" to you opening form tag:

<form method="post" action="{{ route('company.store') }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">

If you don't include it then only the file name will be submitted and will cause

$request->file('logo')

to return null because it isn't a file it's a string.
