ANSWERS:
Revenue share depends on the issuer, Visa is not directly involved:
That depends on the contract negotiated between the partner and
issuer. Visa is not privy to these negotiations.
Here is a list of issuers:

Requirements to participate:
---
Company size is not a huge factor:
Because each issuer has its own requirements regarding anticipated
card volume, there is no magic number. Issuers enter into programs for
different reasons: goodwill, alliances, etc. Higher numbers do gain
more attention, but they?re not the only criteria.

You may need to hire a consultant to take the proper steps to
obtaining your own credit card:
A consultant is not necessary, but in many cases a consultant can help
you create ideas for your program, develop a request for proposal
(RFP), talk to the issuers, etc. In the event you are interested,
we?ve provided a list of consultants from the credit card industry.
Here are the consultants recommended by Visa:
