DOCBYTE
ActiveSummary
DOCBYTE has been active since 2006 and the Belgian Official Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €321,818 and a net result of €485,475. Equity is shrinking by about 48% per year across the filed financial years. Its solvency ranks better than 20% of 3,371 sector peers (NACE 62, financial year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.1% (very low).

Checked score
Fewer than 1 in 1,000 comparable companies go bankrupt within 12 months (an estimate).
How it is calculated
The band follows from the bankruptcy probability, on a scale where 10 more points roughly halve it:
| 75-100 | Excellent | under 0.55% |
| 60-74 | Healthy | 0.55% to 1.5% |
| 45-59 | Fair | 1.5% to 4.2% |
| 25-44 | Weak | 4.2% to 15.0% |
| 0-24 | Critical | over 15.0% |
Where the company stands within its band depends half on the bankruptcy probability and half on how it does against its sector peers (NACE 62, micro): better than 15% on solvency, 24% on liquidity and 48% on profitability.
The bankruptcy probability was computed on 25-10-2026 by the bankruptcy model of 2 October 2026, which learns from Belgian bankruptcies and reads the registers, the annual accounts and the Belgian Official Gazette.
Some facts cap the score, however low the probability. Negative or zero equity, a heavy loss, a special status in the KBO, one missing filing or accounts filed more than 90 days late hold it at Fair at most (59); two missing filings, at Weak (44). An ongoing judicial reorganisation or the company's end (bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation) holds it at Critical at most (24).

Peer companies
Historical observationOf the 931 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 1.9% went bankrupt within 24 months and 93.1% are still going.
- Micro
- 20 years or older
- solvency under 10%
- a profit of 5% of the balance sheet or more
A further 0.3% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.
For this company itself Checked computes a lower bankruptcy probability: 0.1% 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 497,475 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.6%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.7%.
| 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% | 0.9% |
| 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 74.5% 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 931 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.
