Too late to start that now: CAs are shutting down those programs because
the browser maintainers have pushed back harder.  Unless you're prepared
to go through all the steps that a public CA goes through, in terms of
process controls and other security practices, and you're prepared to
pay for auditors to audit how you run this side of things, a CA which
issues an intermediate cert to you is at risk of getting pulled from the
browser default trust stores.

See, eg, https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:CertificatePolicyV2.1 for how
things are firming up.
