Summary

For BINET, at least two filing cycles of the annual accounts are missing. The 2023 annual accounts show equity of €678,988 and a net result of €626,866. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 81% of 6293 sector peers (fiscal year 2023). The company has been active since 1995 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.5% (very low).

Not found in the Peppol register

No Peppol card under this enterprise or VAT number. That proves nothing: publishing a card is voluntary.

What can you do?

Try sending from your invoicing software; if that fails, ask the customer whether they already receive via Peppol.

If the customer is not ready yet, you may send the invoice another way, for example as a PDF; if electronically, with their agreement on a secure alternative. That invoice is valid; the customer risks a penalty. FPS Finance
