If you are using the SQL Management Studio, you can right click your DB name and select Tasks > Import/Export data and follow the wizard.
one of the steps is called "Specify Table Copy or Query" where there is an option to write a query to specify the data to transfer, so you can simply specify the following query:

select * from [Table] where Fk_CompanyId = 1

If you are using Oracle SQL Developer then it would be  select   insert     from TABLE NAME where COLUMN NAME    VALUE     Run this as a script

In SSMS execute your sql query  From the result window select all cells and copy the values  Goto below website and there you can paste the copied data and generate sql scripts  You can also save results of query from SSMS as CSV file and import the csv file in this website   http   www convertcsv com csv-to-sql htm

If possible use Visual Studio  The Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools  SSDT  bring a built in functionality for this since the March 2014 release   Open Visual Studio Open  quot View quot     quot SQL Server Object Explorer quot  Add a connection to your Server Expand the relevant database Expand the  quot Tables quot  folder Right click on relevant table Select  quot View Data quot  from context menu In the new window  viewing the data use the  quot Sort and filter dataset quot  functionality in the tool bar to apply your filter  Note that this functionality is limited and you can t write explicit SQL queries  After you have applied your filter and see only the data you want  click on  quot Script quot  or  quot Script to file quot  in the tool bar Voil   - Here you have your insert script for your filtered data  Note  Be careful  the  quot View Data quot  window is just like SSMS  quot Edit Top 200 Rows quot - you can edit data right away  Tested with Visual Studio 2015 with Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools  SSDT  Version 14 0 60812 0 and Microsoft SQL Server 2012
