BrainCake
ActiveSummary
BrainCake has been active since 2012 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show equity of €26k and a net result of €-13k. Equity is shrinking by ~16.3% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2026. Its solvency ranks better than 75% of 37953 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.2% (very low).

KBO · incorporation dateAge against the risk zone
raises risk · Persistent losses
Two consecutive loss-making years (2023 and 2024); equity is also lower. May indicate structural pressure on profitability.

neutral · A punctual record breaks
This company filed 4 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 31-12-2024 was due by 31-07-2025 and was filed on 22-08-2025, 22 days late. Weigh it accordingly: a break into the 1-to-90-day band measures 1.41% abnormal legal state, below the 1.66% market average. It is a change in behaviour, not evidence of elevated risk.
