Credit of up to €650,000 on 30-day terms is acceptable
Liquidity tight (current ratio 1.45, compared with 1.19 in 2023; short-term debt: 67.1% and cash: 3.7% of total assets), and 75% of the assets are financed with debt.
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 73, medium-sized): better than 27% on solvency, 12% on liquidity and 70% on profitability.

The bankruptcy probability was computed on 10-10-2026 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).

The financial year that closed on 30-06-2025 was due by 31-01-2026 and was filed on 04-02-2026, 4 days later. For context: 47% of Belgian companies file late, and of those that file 1 to 90 days late, 2.0% are now in a legal situation other than normal in the KBO (such as bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution), against 1.66% of all filers. We show this as a fact and do not score it.
