What would prevent them from setting up shop? Nothing, but the answer is In your question. "Falling all over themselves” —there would be so much competition that creating a monopoly would be exceedingly difficult, since regulatory capture would be impossible. So you’d have competitors cropping up left and right. And with no police force and politicians to simply bribe, it wouldn’t turn into an illegal cartel monopoly situation either. Bribing the police is different than setting up your own police, which is much more expensive and In that situation, your “police” don’t have any automatic superiority to a gang of regular armed citizens.

There could be towns owned by corporations, but they would have a tenuous grip on their citizens because nearby, there would be other communes and towns owned by other businesses which would create a competitive environment. Overly draconian conditions would lead to ghost towns.

Private property would probably often feature mines in an ancap situation to keep people out. I doubt that aside from main thoroughways that travel, at least by tresspass, would be all that safe. Trade routes would need to be established and honored between communities to prevent injury. Too many closed borders would kill trade and kill the economy.
