A trade needs at least 30 new companies in Shetland over twelve months before it gets a page of its own, so the 19 trades below that line are listed without a link. A company carrying more than one SIC code can appear in more than one trade, so the rows add up to more than the number of companies behind them.

New companies in Shetland, by month

Nov 2025 – Oct 2026 · 41 trade rows, 36 companies

Previous months October 2026

Small numbers move about. At this volume a quiet month and a busy month in the same year is normal, so read the twelve-month total before you read any single month.

2015 to 2026

How far back Shetland goes.

Companies registered to a Shetland address by year of incorporation, across all 39 trades, and this year measured against the same run of months last year.

New companies in Shetland, by year

2015 to 2026 · 2026 counts January to October only

Complete years 2026, part year
January to October 2026 36 New companies in Shetland so far this year
Same months, 2025 38 Down 5% year on year
2025, the last full year 43 Against 13 in 2015

Older years undercount. The register only holds companies that still exist. Anything formed in an earlier year and since dissolved has dropped off it, so the further back the chart goes the more it undercounts. That alone makes every trade look like it is growing. Some of the rise here is real growth and some of it is simply that recent companies have had less time to close. The long view works through it in full.
