BecauseProtectionMatters has a registered holding activity and consists mainly of financial fixed assets; the bankruptcy model is trained on trading and manufacturing companies and does not apply here. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €10.29M and a net result of €355k. Equity is growing by ~22.9% per year across the filed fiscal years. Its solvency ranks better than 40% of 3292 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The company has been active since 2021 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

Checked score

Outside the general model
Holding: general score not applicable
The company has a registered holding activity and financial fixed assets account for more than half of its assets. The general operating-company model is unsuitable for this profile, so we show no financial axes either. Filed figures remain available.

Directors
no sitting director, no change since 2026
We have established no sitting directors for this company. We derive directors from published Gazette acts; while there are none, or none read, nothing appears here. That does not mean the company has none: the CBE keeps its own list of function holders, which we do not read.
