Liquidity is tight, with a current ratio of 1.46 (3.06 in 2024), below the usual 1.5. Short-term debt is 38.8% and cash 23.4% of total assets. 39.5% of the assets are financed with debt and provisions.
Calculation

The band follows from the bankruptcy probability. 10 more points roughly halve it.

75-100 Excellent under 0.55%
60-74 Healthy 0.55% to 1.5%
45-59 Fair 1.5% to 4.2%
25-44 Weak 4.2% to 15.0%
0-24 Critical over 15.0%

Where the company stands within its band depends half on the bankruptcy probability and half on how it does against its sector peers (NACE 71, micro). It does better than 58% of them on solvency, 48% on liquidity, 4% on profitability and 19% on growth.

The bankruptcy probability was computed on 03-11-2026 by the bankruptcy model of 2 October 2026, which learns from Belgian bankruptcies and reads the registers, the annual accounts and the Belgian Official Gazette.

Some facts cap the score, however low the probability. With negative or zero equity, a heavy loss, a special status in the KBO, one missing filing or accounts filed more than 90 days late, the score is Fair at most (59). With two missing filings, it is Weak at most (44). During a judicial reorganisation or at the company's end (bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), it is Critical at most (24).

Historical observation

In July 2024, 3,223 companies had the same profile as Ben Engineering has now. Two years later, 87.7% were still going and 3.4% had gone bankrupt.

  • Micro
  • 2 to 5 years old
  • solvency 30% or more
  • a loss of 10% of the balance sheet or more
87.7% was still going
8.7% stopped otherwise
3.4% went bankrupt

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

The bankruptcy probability of Ben Engineering itself is lower: 0.2% within 12 months. It rests on far more data about Ben Engineering than the profile alone.

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 3,223 companies, not a prediction for Ben Engineering. 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.
