Historical observation

Of the 6,010 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 7.9% went bankrupt within 24 months and 83% are still going.

  • Micro
  • 5 to 10 years old
  • negative equity
  • a loss of 10% of the balance sheet or more
7.9% went bankrupt
8.4% stopped otherwise
83% still going

A further 0.8% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.

For this company itself Checked computes a bankruptcy probability of 4.9% over twelve months; the group does not contradict it.

How reliable is this rule?

Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,340 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.6%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.7%.

The companies in ten equal groups, from lowest to 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% 1.0%
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%

The rule ranks well: a company that went bankrupt got a higher share than one that kept going in 74% of comparisons. The level follows the economy: in a year with more bankruptcies, the actual share is higher than the year before.

An observation about 6,010 comparable companies, not a prediction for this company. The sector does not count: the register keeps no sector for companies that stopped, so it would make the outcome look better than it was.

Directors
no sitting director, last change in 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.
Not every act has been read: a resignation may be missing here
4 of this company's 5 Belgian State Gazette acts have not been read yet. Appointments and resignations recorded in them are missing above: a director who resigned there may therefore still show here as sitting. The acts are in the Timeline.
