Summary

The annual accounts of BERLAU for fiscal year 2025 show a net loss of 50% of total assets and of 67% of the equity at the start of that year. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €10,154 and a net result of -€23,348. Equity is shrinking by ~25.5% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2026. Its solvency ranks better than 30% of 1815 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The company has been active since 2002 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.8% (low).

How it is calculated

The band comes from the bankruptcy probability on a scale of 0 to 100: every 10 points more double the odds of getting through the year without bankruptcy.

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%

Place inside the band: half the bankruptcy probability, half how the company does against its sector peers (NACE 73, micro). Better than this share of them on solvency 27%, liquidity 39%, profitability 6%, growth against the median 9%. That is performance, not lower risk; the band itself always comes from the probability.

Bankruptcy probability: model pd-v3.202610021621, computed on 02-10-2026. The model learns from Belgian bankruptcies and reads the registers, the annual accounts and the gazette.

Ceilings: negative or zero equity, a heavy loss, a special KBO legal situation and a missing filing 59 (two missing 44), an ongoing judicial reorganisation or an ending 24. Financial strength does not count in the score.
