Summary

BALPA has been active since 2001 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show negative equity (-€4,821) and a net result of -€2,374. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 25% of 2366 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.3% (very low).

Historical observation

Of the 2,795 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 2.1% went bankrupt within 24 months and 90% are still going.

  • Micro
  • 20 years or older
  • negative equity
  • a small loss
2.1% went bankrupt
6.0% stopped otherwise
90% still going

A further 1.6% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.

For this company itself Checked computes a lower bankruptcy probability: 0.3% over twelve months. The score reads more about this company than the group's four characteristics; both figures are right about what they measure.

How reliable is this rule?

Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,340 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.6%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.7%.

The companies in ten equal groups, from lowest to highest expected share.
Group Expected Actual
1 0.2% 0.2%
2 0.3% 0.5%
3 0.5% 0.6%
4 0.7% 0.8%
5 0.9% 1.0%
6 1.3% 1.5%
7 1.6% 1.8%
8 1.8% 1.8%
9 3.0% 3.1%
10 5.6% 6.2%

The rule ranks well: a company that went bankrupt got a higher share than one that kept going in 74% of comparisons. The level follows the economy: in a year with more bankruptcies, the actual share is higher than the year before.

An observation about 2,795 comparable companies, not a prediction for this company. The sector does not count: the register keeps no sector for companies that stopped, so it would make the outcome look better than it was.

Not found in the Peppol register

No Peppol card under this enterprise or VAT number. That proves nothing: publishing a card is voluntary.

What can you do?

Try sending from your invoicing software; if that fails, ask the customer whether they already receive via Peppol.

If the customer is not ready yet, you may send the invoice another way, for example as a PDF; if electronically, with their agreement on a secure alternative. That invoice is valid; the customer risks a penalty. FPS Finance
