E.L. & C°
ActiveSummary
E.L. & C° has been active since 1994 and the Belgian Official Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show negative equity (-€208,817) and a net result of -€6,584. Equity is shrinking by about 5.1% per year across the filed financial years. The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.2% (very low).

The operating result stays negative: a loss of €11,714 in 2025 against €10,694 in 2024; the loss grows.
What the company sold each financial year and what was left of it. A loss stands below the zero line.
What the company owns (total assets), how much of it is its own (equity) and how much it owes.
Short-term assets minus short-term debts. Above zero the company can pay its bills in the short term.

Peer companies
Historical observationOf the 2,796 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 2.1% went bankrupt within 24 months and 90.3% are still going.
- Micro
- 20 years or older
- negative equity
- a small loss
A further 1.5% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.
For this company itself Checked computes a lower bankruptcy probability: 0.2% 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 497,445 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 2,796 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.
