Bril Gent
ActiveBril Gent has been active since 2016 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show equity of €6k and a net result of €-10k. Equity is shrinking by ~19.2% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2026. Its solvency ranks better than 25% of 26056 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 1.2% (low).

Directors
no sitting director, no change since 2026
We have established no sitting directors for this company. We derive directors from published Gazette acts; while there are none, or none read, nothing appears here. That does not mean the company has none: the CBE keeps its own list of function holders, which we do not read.
