Abstract
The key idea of our work is to achieve the electroweak symmetry breaking by generating masses of the known fermions, quarks and leptons. Prior to any attempts to build a fundamental theory of fermion masses, it is necessary to check whether the fermion masses can actually saturate the electroweak scale.

Notes
- 1.
The rest of standard fermions and their corresponding symmetries are of course present in the model in order to provide proper anomaly cancelation, but we do not treat them explicitly here as they do not participate in the symmetry breaking in our simplified analysis. Due to the factorization assumption the three generations of leptons exhibit a single common symmetry group.
- 2.
The nomenclature of Type I and Type II of two-Higgs-doublet models was introduced in [27]. The two types differ by the Higgs couplings to fermions.
- 3.
The limit in parenthesis follows from \(B\rightarrow X_s\gamma \) but it is very sensitive to assumptions and to input parameters.
- 4.
In the ATLAS and CMS analyses the overall fermion scaling factor \(C_F\) is used, instead of \(C_t\), which scales only the top-quark Yukawa interaction in our model. In any case \(C_t=C_F\).
