How to open a mercanary business? Is the market good?

Question

I am very interested in opening my own PMC (AKA Mercanary) business such as Blackwater. How does one go about doing this? Is there a big demand for this? Will there always be a demand for mercanary groups? What type of laws apply ot mercanary groups? Obviously they are not given free reign to kill enemy such as a regular countries Army would?

By PMC I mean Private Military Contractor

Answer 1

First, you should learn either the correct way to spell mercenary or how to use spell check. Then, I would sign up to work for one of these companies (preferably after suitable military experience) to see how they operate and to learn how they get clients. Finally, I'd see if there are other employees who are interested in starting their own company and go in on it together.

The market will always be good for people who are morally flexible, as the line goes in Gross Pointe Blank (a movie you should definitely see).

Blackwater is a private security firm, not essentially mercenaries as such. The fact that they hire ex servicemen would give them the appearance of a army for hire but they are not. What you are talking about is a trained armed force which would take a considerable amount of funding and the use of exrensive military and political contacts to equip and semi-legitimize
