Market & Regulatory Landscape
A structurally underserved UK enterprise market
UK regulated enterprises are deploying autonomous agents into production at accelerating pace. The governance infrastructure does not exist in productised form for the UK regulatory environment. AgentAudit closes that gap.
UK Total Addressable Market
5,200 enterprises
Mid-market and larger UK enterprises with active or planned agent deployment.
UK Serviceable Available Market
2,100 enterprises
Subset with regulatory or governance requirement plus deployment scale. ≈ £85,000,000 annual subscription value.
Year-3 Serviceable Obtainable Market
110 customers
≈ 5% capture of the SAM by end of Year 3, consistent with a first-mover position in UK-specific governance.
Three-year operating forecast
Calibrated against UK first-mover capture, then international expansion.
| Horizon | Paying customers | Annual recurring revenue | Headcount | Geography |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 22 | £900,000 | 6 | United Kingdom |
| Year 2 | 55 | £2,240,000 | 12 | UK + Ireland |
| Year 3 | 110 | £4,480,000 | 24 | UK + Ireland + EU + US pilot |

Year 1 — UK
Concentration on the UK market allows the operating discipline of the venture to mature against a single regulatory environment before international complexity is added.
Year 2 — UK + Ireland
Ireland is the lowest-friction international market for a UK-anchored governance platform — English-language commerce, EU regulatory alignment and proximate AI policy community.
Year 3 — EU + US pilot
EU expansion concentrates on regulatory-alignment sectors (DACH financial services, Benelux digital health, French public sector). US pilot operates against a small cohort through partnership channels or UK-headquartered subsidiaries.
