If you take money and offer something in exchange, you're a company.

Making up a definition for what is a 'company' (a non-standard definition that excludes 9 of 10 definitions for 'company' in the OED and doesn't match the last one either) does not address my point nor does it explain why your scenario would happen for cryonics as it is currently actually practiced and not how you imagine it is practiced.
