FREBO has been active since 1995 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €56k and a net result of €457k. Equity is shrinking by ~16.1% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2027. Its solvency ranks better than 9% of 1025 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.7% (low).
