Summary
Ferrum has a registered holding activity and consists mainly of financial fixed assets; the bankruptcy model is trained on trading and manufacturing companies and does not apply here. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €5.9m and a net result of €39,246. Equity is shrinking by ~4.3% per year across the filed fiscal years. Its solvency ranks better than 95% of 8871 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The company has been active since 1951 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.
Checked score
Outside the general model
Holding: general score not applicable
The company has a registered holding activity and financial fixed assets account for more than half of its assets. The general operating-company model is unsuitable for this profile, so we show no financial axes either. Filed figures remain available.

E-invoicing
Not found in the Peppol register
No Peppol card under this enterprise or VAT number. That proves nothing: publishing a card is voluntary.
What can you do?
Try sending from your invoicing software; if that fails, ask the customer whether they already receive via Peppol.
If the customer is not ready yet, you may send the invoice another way, for example as a PDF; if electronically, with their agreement on a secure alternative. That invoice is valid; the customer risks a penalty. FPS Finance
