You just described the perfect business model. A democratic society would be all over that. Who wouldn't pay a small sum to ensure that their employees are kept in line?
The only problem is that most people don't really want democracy. They want replaceable dictators who can do as they please during their stay as long as they step down after the allotted time. That's why said business struggles to find any customers.
