Historical observation

In July 2024, 1,322 companies had the same profile as BE Protect has now. Two years later, 90.2% were still going and 4.2% had gone bankrupt.

  • Micro
  • under 2 years old
  • negative equity
  • a loss of 10% of the balance sheet or more
90.2% was still going
5.5% stopped otherwise
4.2% went bankrupt

That fits the bankruptcy probability of BE Protect itself: 4.3% within 12 months.

Test of the method

The method was tested on the 497,446 companies of July 2024. Each company was given the bankruptcy share of the same profile a year earlier, in July 2023. The expectation was that 1.6% would go bankrupt within 24 months. In fact 1.7% went bankrupt.

The companies in ten equal groups, from the lowest to the 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% 0.9%
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%

A company that went bankrupt had a higher expected share than one that kept going in 74.5% of comparisons. The level depends on the economy. In a year with more bankruptcies than the year before, the actual share is higher than the expected one.

This is an observation about 1,322 companies, not a prediction for BE Protect. The sector does not count, because the KBO no longer lists a sector for a company that has stopped. By sector, mostly the survivors would count, which would paint too rosy a picture.
