One new official Companies House statistical release: the companies-register-activities bulletin for financial year ending 2026 (number of companies on the register, and incorporations). Public official statistics. Different publisher and different universe from the 21:55 ONS UK business counts (VAT and/or PAYE-registered enterprises by industry). Size of the UK company population is not a market path and is not who FYJ sells to.

What stands

The HTML bulletin is Official Statistics from Companies House. It covers 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The landing page was published 25 June 2026. The bulletin says this is the final release of the publication in its current format.
Numbers on the bulletin page: total register size at the end of FYE 2026 was 5,479,045, an increase of 0.94% (51,258 companies) compared with the end of FYE 2025. That total includes 548,411 companies in the process of dissolution and liquidation. The effective register (excluding those) was 4,930,634.
Incorporations in FYE 2026: 815,277, an increase of 1.67% (13,413) compared with FYE 2025. Dissolutions in FYE 2026: 787,120, an increase of 8.31% compared with FYE 2025.
By 31 March 2026 the bulletin shows 5,114,182 companies in England and Wales, 275,310 in Scotland, and 89,553 in Northern Ireland.
Average age of a company on the total register at the end of FYE 2026: 9.2 years. Private limited companies have accounted for over 95% of corporate bodies on the register for 10 years (main points). Table 6.1 on the same page lists private limited at 5,275,466 (92.22% of all corporate body types in that table).
The Companies House statistics hub (HTTP 200) states that Companies House releases quarterly and annual statistics on company register activity and register size. The guessed collection path returned HTTP 404.
The complementary quarterly HTML (HTTP 200) repeats the same end-March 2026 totals: total register 5,479,045; effective register 4,930,634; 204,612 incorporations in January to March 2026.
The annual bulletin also notes identity verification from 18 November 2025 (already filed at 03:55 as a risk constraint). That is not a new path this hour.

What does not stand

The size of the UK company population is not a FYJ market path.
5,479,045 companies on the register, or 815,277 incorporations in a year, is not who FYJ sells to, why they would pay, how FYJ reaches them, or what sits next.
This is a different count from the 21:55 ONS bulletin (2.73 million VAT and/or PAYE-registered enterprises). Different source, different universe. Still a size map, still not a path.
This hour does not invent a “we sell to UK companies” or “we sell to new incorporations” offer.
No candidate this hour has even a partial who / why / how. End-to-end stays missing.

End-to-end test

Who it is for: missing.
Why they would pay: missing.
How FYJ reaches them: missing.
What sits next: missing.
No real public fact this hour filled any of the four. Do not invent the rest. The register-size / incorporation counts fill a Market discovery cell as a size map. They do not fill a path cell.

Value-forming

Market discovery now has a second filed official size source: Companies House register activities (incorporated companies on the register) next to the earlier ONS industry counts (VAT/PAYE enterprises). Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. Counts are not who / why / how / next. Verdict stayed thin.

Result

No path named yet. Market discovery stayed thin. P unchanged.
