A private defense agency (PDA) is a theoretical enterprise which would provide personal protection and military defense services to individuals who would voluntarily contract for its services. PDAs are advocated in anarcho-capitalism.
A PDA is distinguished from a private contractor of the state which is subsidized financially through taxation or legally through monopoly and immunity. Instead, such agencies would in theory be voluntarily financed primarily by competing insurance and security companies.
