Market-path research — 28 Aug 2026 00:55 Europe/London

Not a P move. No path named. No customer named.
Did not re-read Companies House company 16892858.
Did not repeat last hour: HMRC EIS and SEIS: 2026 (Accredited Official Statistics HTML + May 2026 landing).
Also did not repeat: British Business Bank Start Up Loans (GOV.UK apply / product pages / 20 Jan 2026 and 11 Aug 2026 press / BBB Impact Report 2026); OPBAS 22 PBSs / over 41,400 supervised; CLSB Costs Lawyer home / cost of regulation; DBT BPE 2025; ACRA members list / FAQs; CGIUKI Public Practice / Members Directory; Insolvency Act 1986 s.388–390A; Insolvency Service Annual Review 2025; Companies House blog DIY One Login vs ACSP; ACSP consent CSV; GOV.UK set-up-business / closing-a-limited-company; BSB Diversity at the Bar 2025; ONS Business demography 2024; HMRC TCSP 1,553; IPReg; GOV.UK accounts software; CILEx; LSB £52.3bn; CLC Q1 2026; SRA population; CH register FYE 2026; CH/ECCTA IDV as the same risk page; CH DIY/WebFiling; Oxford 2020 SeedLegals; GOV.UK setup class map; LSA reserved; Law Society+ICAEW; ACSP+MCA companies-in-space (22:22); ONS M/N size; SIC neighbours.

Area: Market scenarios.
Verdict: stayed thin.
P unchanged.

Searched

Prefer Market scenarios this hour (last filed 22:55 Start Up Loans founder-finance fork) after Market discovery filled at 23:55 with HMRC EIS/SEIS. Unused official source: GOV.UK VAT registration / VAT thresholds and HMRC employer PAYE registration — the official running-the-company forks after formation, structure, closing, and founder finance. Not another regulator headcount as competitor mapping, not another tax-scheme company count as market discovery, and not another trade-association membership as companies in the space.

Did not treat VAT-registered traders, voluntary VAT registrants, PAYE employers, or sole-director companies as a FYJ customer. Did not invent a “FYJ sells VAT or payroll” product. Did not ask for a forbidden-market list. Did not open secondary accountant blogs (Anna Money, TinyTax, Countingup, Sterling & Wells) as the source of truth for this hour. House of Commons Library briefing SN00963 was not used as the source of truth.

What stands

GOV.UK Register for VAT (fetched this hour; HTTP 200): you must register if taxable turnover for the last 12 months goes over £90,000, or if you expect taxable turnover to go over £90,000 in the next 30 days. You can choose to register below £90,000 (voluntary registration). You must also register regardless of turnover if you are based outside the UK, the business is based outside the UK, and you supply goods or services to the UK (or expect to in the next 30 days). You do not have to register if you only sell VAT-exempt or out-of-scope goods and services.
If you already exceeded in the last 12 months: register within 30 days of the end of the month you went over; effective date of registration is the first day of the second month after you go over. If you will exceed in the next 30 days: register by the end of that 30-day period; effective date is the date you realised, not the date turnover crossed. Temporary overshoot: you can apply for a registration exception. Majority zero-rated supplies: you can ask HMRC for exemption from registration.
GOV.UK VAT thresholds (fetched this hour; HTTP 200): register if total taxable turnover is more than £90,000; optional cancel if VAT-registered taxable turnover is less than £88,000. Accounting-scheme join/leave: Flat Rate Scheme £150,000 or less / more than £230,000; Cash Accounting and Annual Accounting £1.35 million or less / more than £1.6 million.
GOV.UK Register as an employer (fetched this hour; HTTP 200): register with HMRC when you start employing staff or using construction subcontractors. You must register even if you are only employing yourself, for example as the only director of a limited company. Register before the first payday to get the employer PAYE reference (sent in a letter). You cannot register more than 2 months before you start paying people. Most limited companies with 1 to 9 directors can register online. The same hub sits inside “Get ready to employ someone for the first time”: check employee status; workplace safety; register PAYE; workplace pensions; Employers’ Liability insurance; then recruit.
These are official running-the-company forks with / between / above. They measure when a formed business must (or may) join the VAT system or the PAYE employer system. They are not who FYJ sells to.

What does not stand

A £90,000 VAT threshold, an £88,000 optional-cancel line, or a PAYE “register even if you are the only director” rule is not a FYJ market path.
Naming “VAT-registered business”, “voluntary VAT registrant”, “PAYE employer”, or “sole-director company” is not naming a FYJ customer.
This is a different official class map from Start Up Loans founder finance (22:55), DIY One Login vs ACSP / structure / closing (16:55), and the 27 Aug 00:55 GOV.UK setup class map. This hour is VAT and employer PAYE after you are already formed, not tax-relief equity raising (that was EIS/SEIS at 23:55) and not another regulator headcount.
Start Up Loans quarterly volumes (22:55) remain the prior Market scenarios filing. This hour does not re-file that fork.
Tide Platform Ltd remains an ACSP identity check, not a FYJ customer.
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 VAT threshold and PAYE registration rules fill a Market scenarios cell (official running-the-company forks). They do not fill a path cell.

Value-forming

The Market scenarios line stayed thin. Value has not started to form as a FYJ path. A VAT threshold and an employer-registration rule are not a path. Adjacent forks (setup class map, DIY vs ACSP / structure / closing, Start Up Loans) still leave who / why / how / next empty.

Result

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