Summary

ESCAPE has been active since 1997 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show negative equity (€-103k) and a net result of €-38k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 10% of 7058 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.6% (low).
