Also, don't forget those aren't just one company, but entire corporation, so they own many subdivisions, firms and businesses or even brands - like Detroit Munitions being company belonging to mother-company, Ageira.
Well today these are "external" security agencies mostly. It isn't common that these work under corp.
I made bad comparison then, because megacorporations are... megacorporations. They have enormous amount of money, but they also possess considerable security forces. I'd even risk the statement that Sirian governments are actually afraid of doing wrong things towards their own companies, seeing how capitalism works.
In fact, nobody would even say "no" to Ageira. They actually own every TL and Jumpgate and if e.g. Liberty Navy started to put some pressure onto Ageira, the consequences would be rather fatal.
