Summary

ECON has been active since 1991 and the Belgian Official Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €190,699 and a net result of €313,204. Equity is shrinking by about 12% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around financial year 2026. Its solvency ranks better than 18% of 1,530 sector peers (NACE 81, financial year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.1% (very low).

Historical observation

Of the 2,613 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 0.7% went bankrupt within 24 months and 97.3% are still going.

  • Small
  • 20 years or older
  • solvency 10 to 30%
  • a profit of 5% of the balance sheet or more
0.7% went bankrupt
2.0% stopped otherwise
97.3% still going

For this company itself Checked computes a bankruptcy probability of 0.1% over twelve months; the group does not contradict it.

How reliable is this rule?

Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,473 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.6%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.7%.

The companies in ten equal groups, from lowest to highest expected share.
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% 1.0%
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 2,613 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.
