Personally, I'd steer clear of forming any kind of unit emulating a Clan for now. The Clans are simply not in the game for now. There is no guarantee that Clans will support player formed units when they come (though I think "Solahma Clusters" are likely, or even given), no guarantee that you can migrate a merc corp over to such player driven unit if they do exist, and no guarentee that any "Clan" formed as merc corp will ever have access to clan 'mechs or weaponry.
If I was forming a "Clan" as merc corp, I'd roll with the setting and create a unit that emulates Wolf's Dragoons, but from different Clan. Like Bear's Cavalry ( ) or Jade Cuirassiers and so forth. Then when the clans come your unit can decide if they want to split, disband and create a new proper Clan unit (or migrate over with ingame system, if possible) or stay with IS merc corps.
