You could if you already had a name for yourself. Look at Dana Telsey, she created her own ER firm after a number of years being ranked and at a bigger firm. This works because the clients (buy-side) stays the same and the information they get stays the same, they just write the checks to a different place.

Without those connections, it would be hard to pull off. Mainly, how would you get your name out there. It's kinda like McDonald's, they don't make the best burger, but people will go there over a great local place if they come from out of town because they know what they will get.
