As has also been said in many a thread that I've seen. Once you hold a clearance, there is also no guarantee that that SC can be transferred. Home Office and other Gov agencies are sometimes non-transferable and can only be used at the agency that vetted you.
It’s a bit naughty but I know permies who moved into Professional Service companies that are List X as they allowed them to transfer their existing clearance status despite the fact they don’t actively need it for their customers. The Professional Service company is just renewing the clearance on the chance that they get a client that needs someone who’s vetted.
Also there are different types of DV that apply to different agencies. In the US you have to have a polygraph test
