DEFOUR
ActiveSummary
DEFOUR has been active since 1985 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show negative equity (€-11k) and a net result of €-14k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 5% of 8966 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 1.0% (low).
