How possible would it be for a gang to turn corp if they had the facilities the manpower
and the resources necessary to go into big time business?

It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to assume that (with SINs -- or new SINs)
a group of 'runners could start a freelance security consultant biz, or
something similar. We've actually used that as a campaign before.

They'd get eaten alive by the other corps if they got too big, or too
pushy...unless they knew 'big business politics' pretty well (and even then,
I'd call it iffy).

Very much so I would say, after all who doesn't want to enjoy life of
the "rich and famous" :))

I do think they would need some serious guidance, assistance, perhaps
even re-education in corp etiquette in order to function properly in the
midst of all the others.

So certainly in the beginning they a "councellor" or "advisor" who
would
keep them on a very tight leash, gradually allowing them more freedom
and providing them with more resources when they act accordingly.

Just my thoughts,
