Not if it is powerful enough to make itself the state.

It would be helpful if you provided an example of this happening.  I have yet to find a historical example of this process.

During the Gilded Age many state governments were pretty much under the thumb of corporate interests.

That doesn't provide a historical example of private businesses setting themselves up as a state.  It merely indicates that politicians can be bought and sold.  Which isn't all that surprising really.  All men have a price.
