raises risk · Recent warning signals
The last 24 months brought warning signals in the Staatsblad or the KBO, and those often pile up before a bankruptcy.

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

The KBO struck this company off ex officio, which points to unmet obligations and often precedes a bankruptcy.

Historical observation

Of the 5,049 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 1.5% went bankrupt within 24 months and 96% are still going.

  • Micro
  • 10 to 20 years old
  • solvency 10 to 30%
  • a profit of 5% of the balance sheet or more
1.5% went bankrupt
2.3% stopped otherwise
96% still going

A further 0.4% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.

For this company itself Checked computes a higher bankruptcy probability: 2.9% over twelve months. The score reads more about this company than the group's four characteristics; both figures are right about what they measure.

How reliable is this rule?

Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,058 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.5%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.6%.

The companies in ten equal groups, from lowest to highest expected share.
Group Expected Actual
1 0.2% 0.2%
2 0.3% 0.4%
3 0.5% 0.5%
4 0.6% 0.7%
5 0.8% 0.9%
6 1.2% 1.3%
7 1.5% 1.6%
8 1.7% 1.7%
9 2.7% 2.8%
10 5.3% 5.7%

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 5,049 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.
