That is the most awesome idea ever! It's almost totally unfeasible, but I'd quit my job to work for subsim security in a heartbeat.
You might want to reconsider the 20 mike-mikes, though. In addition to being very hard to port around, they generally require more than one crewman. That would increase manpower costs, thus increasing our rates. The .50 cals would have more than enough firepower, anyways. We could probably skip the RPGs as well and just use frag grenades. Other than that, all we'd need would be automatic small arms.

Unfortunately, it's hard to come up with a price for such services without a rough estimate of overhead costs. I've come up with a ballpark figure of $1.50 per head, per mile as a conservative minimum estimate for labor costs. It works out to about $30 an hour for the employee. For additional overhead costs, I'd recommend an initial charge that varies depending upon the port in which the service originates, the method of personnel delivery/extraction, and the port in which the service terminates.
If based in the U.S., we might even qualify for subsidies that could offset some costs.

Sadly, we have two major obstacles right off the bat. The first is the red-tape navigation that such ventures require. The second is the fact that state anti-pirate patrols in affected waters would surely dissuade our customer base from utilizing our services. Why buy something when you (or someone else) has already paid for it? This complication is exacerbated by the fact that ships and cargoes tend to be insured.

Basically, the first thing we would have to do is raise funding to lobby Congress to make this thing feasible in the first place, in addition to accquiring the neccessary licensures and permits. Then we'd have to repeat the process in every country we operated out of, not an easy thing for a mercenary company.
Unless we have some independently wealthy members who have political clout and a willingness to invest, we'd likely be bankrupt before we ever contracted our first client.

I still think it would be an awesome idea, but we have some major hurdles first.
