The factions are old and trace their origins to the Empire days. Once the merchants guild was just that - a guild of traders, one of many. Eventually the guild absorbed other guilds or eliminated them. With money and influence came new opportunities. Why compete with other traders when you can force them to join the program or eliminate them? Why share markets when you can dominate them? Why sell cheaper when you can drive the prices up?
As for starting up, as you can see from the quest, Linos tells you that he has enough traders and clerks. He needs people who will get things done. Things that the guild will benefit from.
