Summary

Conclusion

the dossier summarised in one paragraph

The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability of CIRCLE is 0.3% (very low). The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €218k and a net result of €190k. Equity is growing by ~65.6% per year across the filed fiscal years. Its solvency ranks better than 34% of 4723 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The company has been active since 2021 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

Based on the State Gazette, CBE and 5 annual accounts.

Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
Latest accounts filed on time
The financial year that closed on 31-12-2025 was due by 31-07-2026 and was filed on 09-04-2026, 113 days ahead of the deadline. This speaks to administrative punctuality and says nothing about the financial position.
The next deadline is still running
The next financial year closes on 31-12-2026 and is due by 31-07-2027. Nothing is late today.
How we compute the deadline
The year end is derived from 5 filed financial years, each closing on 31-12. The statutory deadline is seven months after the close of the financial year (art. 3:10 par. 1 CAC, art. 3:47 par. 7 for ASBL and foundations). Applied to the financial year that closed on 31-12-2025, that is 31-07-2026.

No legal incidents
No bankruptcy, reorganisation or interim measure in the Belgisch Staatsblad, and the KBO register records a normal legal situation.

Administrative Flags

No strikeouts found in the KBO publications we processed. That series starts in 2021 and has gaps, so this is not a confirmation that there is nothing.

Trajectory (indicative)
Projection over 3 fiscal years from the filed annual accounts, not a forecast, the extended trend.
volatile Too volatile to project: the yearly deviation from the trend is ~48% of the level (threshold 35%). We therefore deliberately show no projection line.

How do we compute this?

The trend is a robust median of all pairwise slopes between fiscal years (Theil-Sen), so a single odd year cannot hijack the line. For strictly positive series we also fit a log variant (compound annual growth) and keep whichever describes the figures best.

The area around the projection is 1.8 × the median absolute deviation from the trend, widening each year ahead (×1 / ×1.6 / ×2.2), with a minimum of 8% of the last value. It is an indicative range, not a statistical confidence interval.

A series whose deviations exceed 35% of its level is too volatile: we then deliberately show no projection. Every projection assumes unchanged policy and is blind to non-public information (order book, contracts, funding rounds).
