If Tolkien had used the League of Extraordinary Journeymen we might have been spared some latterday adventurers of similar nomenclature. But alas no . . .
Company, on the other hand, has military connotations as well as business uses, so that could be one reason why Tolkien referred to da guys so often as Company of the Ring. Bravo Company doesn't suit Frodo although possibly Boromir would have fancied it.
