FIRE - PROOF
ActiveSummary
FIRE - PROOF has been active since 1996 and the Belgian Official Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €129,512 and a net result of €4,499. Equity is shrinking by about 5% per year across the filed financial years. Its solvency ranks better than 42% of 9,811 sector peers (NACE 46, financial year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.1% (very low).

Checked score
About 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 46, micro): better than 45% on solvency, 30% on liquidity, 54% on profitability and 52% on growth.
The bankruptcy probability was computed on 30-10-2026 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 17,041 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 0.5% went bankrupt within 24 months and 94.4% are still going.
- Micro
- 20 years or older
- solvency 30% or more
- a profit under 5% of the balance sheet
A further 0.2% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.
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 497,445 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 17,041 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.
