raises risk · Multiple establishment units
Several establishment units mean more fixed costs, and such companies fail more often than a company with one establishment.

lowers risk · Long track record
A company with a long track record statistically fails less often than a young one.

neutral · A punctual record breaks
This company filed 9 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 31-12-2025 was due by 31-07-2026 and was filed on 04-09-2026, 35 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.
