Trend over the years

2024 to 2025, 2 financial years

The operating result for 2025 is a loss of €3,747, after a profit of €1,220 in 2024.

Operating result-€3,747 2025 Net result-€3,807 2025

Turnover is what the company sold, the result is what was left of it. A loss stands below the zero line.

Use the arrow keys on the chart for the figures per year.

The sector band is the middle half of the companies in Activities of head offices; management consultancy activities (NACE 70). A quarter of them sit below it, a quarter above. Each year counts only accounts in the same format, and only where there are at least 30. The dashed line is the median. There is a sector band for net result, equity, total assets, working capital, solvency, current ratio and return on assets (ROA).

Companies with the same profile, two years later

Historical observation

In July 2024, 3,223 companies had the same profile as Bechallenged has now. Two years later, 3.4% had gone bankrupt and 87.8% were still going.

  • Micro
  • 2 to 5 years old
  • solvency 30% or more
  • a loss of 10% of the balance sheet or more
3.4% went bankrupt
8.7% stopped otherwise
87.8% was still going

Another 0.2% stopped without a precise date, possibly only after those two years.

The bankruptcy probability of Bechallenged itself is lower: 0.1% within 12 months. It rests on far more data about Bechallenged than the profile alone.

Test of the method

The method was tested on the 497,445 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 3,223 companies, not a prediction for Bechallenged. 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.
