Democracy doesn't mean "everyone shall vote on everything". Voting is restricted to a specific series of things or a certain nature. How to run a private business is not one of them.
There are fundamental differences between a company and a government, one can't just say "a company is sort of like a small government".
Nevertheless, in capitalism people are free to create businesses run by "democratic" vote of its members. Usually that doesn't happen simply because for most scenarios such a system turns out to be less efficient, meaning other companies are better at satisfying the consumer.

Much the same way that you're free to go start your own "democratic" country.

No, not really. Starting a company is easier than starting a country.
