not as long as they don't claim a violence monopoly over land that they don't legitimately own and improve. which is much tougher when you have neighbors (corporate or persons) who don't appreciate you "claiming" their land by force.
without such a monopoly, these corporations don't have the same power to tax involuntarily, so poorer services would fail, unlike States.
Even if everyone sold all their property to **one** single owner, and agreed to a "volubtary tax"... There is a point of maximized revenue (the Laffer point) that they wouldn't go beyond, as a financially good policy. The State doesn't have pecuniary motives, so it doesn't follow sensible rules like this.
