Guilds already do this, they just don't talk about it openly.

Count Einzbern of Aichhalt.
Kingdom of Ashland.
Duchy of Sanctaphandri.
Seated in Darmindatch.
A guild not specifically specialized in it doesn't have the resources to pull this off in a meaningful way.
We're talking about dedicating every single member to gathering, storing, and protecting information, then making a profit from it.
I for one would love to see a 1000 member guild dedicating all their people in that town to discover everything about the 10 other people in said town.
Since when was a guild limited to operating in a single town?
Spread people across the world, have contacts check up on them and collect their information to bring back to the main library, that sort of thing.
It's called a network, not a clump.
As a Count looking to fund these things, I have been wondering what on earth all of these tiny landless startups are thinking. Gotta answer the where before the what to some extent.
The Burning Peregrine Society run by Bicycle Walrus at DM21 Gaming seems to have it sorted you should contact them as it appears you are thinking the same way.
