Newly Formed Companies in the Aberdeen Area
Aberdeen gives the AB postcode area its main identity, but the area is better understood by looking at the places it brings together. The postcode area brings together Aberdeen city centre, Bridge of Dee, Aberdeen, Bieldside, Torry, Inverurie and Hatton, rather than a single centre only.
The AB postcode area covers Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and parts of north-east Scotland. Aberdeen city centre, Torry, Dyce, Old Aberdeen, Cove Bay, Stonehaven, Inverurie, Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Royal Deeside, harbours, agriculture and North Sea energy all contribute to its identity.
The strongest concentrations of company activity in AB include districts such as AB10, AB15, AB11, AB51, AB42, but the postcode area itself is broader than those locations alone.
Here, we highlight newly formed companies and recent Companies House registrations connected with AB postcode addresses. As of June 2026, AB sits in the middle-to-upper range when compared with other UK postcode areas, ranking 78th out of 128 with 27,019 companies.
This gives the area a useful balance between company-registration activity and local geographic detail.
When a company is registered, its registered office address is the publicly visible location of the company and the company has to legally be able to receive post at this address. Over 2,000 companies every day (sometimes over 3000) get formed. These are in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
We analyse whether a registered office has a valid UK postcode that we can get grid co-ordinates for distance calculations and make sure the company has not closed down since it formed. You can then contact these people in the Aberdeen (AB) area, who may be interested in receiving your marketing message offering your services under the legitimate interest rules of GDPR (assuming you are marketing to companies who you feel have a potential interest in your services, either geographically or by category). Marketing is by post because it is a brand new company that won't have a business telephone number or business email address (and even if they have, its not part of the data collected and made available by Companies House)
