B.K.W. has been active since 2006 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show equity of €147k and a net result of €40k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 57% of 36373 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.9% (low).
