Summary

Conclusion

the dossier summarised in one paragraph

GROUP DEFRANCQ is a financial institution; the bankruptcy model is trained on trading and manufacturing companies and does not apply here. The company has been active since 1990 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. No processed annual-account figures are available; this conclusion rests on registry and State Gazette data only.

Based on State Gazette and CBE data.

Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
Deadline passed, not yet counted as missing
The deadline for the year that closed on 31-12-2025 passed on 31-07-2026, 13 days ago. Our copy of the deposit register trails the National Bank (measured: median 14 days, p99 45 days), so we only call this filing missing from 45 days past the deadline.
Latest accounts filed on time
The financial year that closed on 31-12-2024 was due by 31-07-2025 and was filed on 24-06-2025, 37 days ahead of the deadline. This speaks to administrative punctuality and says nothing about the financial position.
How we compute the deadline
The year end is derived from 5 filed financial years, each closing on 31-12. The statutory deadline is seven months after the close of the financial year (art. 3:10 par. 1 CAC, art. 3:47 par. 7 for ASBL and foundations). Applied to the financial year that closed on 31-12-2024, that is 31-07-2025.

Source: the National Bank's deposit records. Those records are complete, including for years whose figures we have not read yet. Filing late covers nearly half the market and is therefore not scored; only not filing, being more than 90 days late and breaking a punctual record carry weight.

Trust signals

2 signals
Long-established
Founded in 1990, 35 years in business.
No legal incidents
No bankruptcy, reorganisation or interim measure in the Belgisch Staatsblad, and the KBO register records a normal legal situation.

Administrative Flags

No strikeouts found in the KBO publications we processed. That series starts in 2021 and has gaps, so this is not a confirmation that there is nothing.

Bankruptcy probability (12 mo)

Checked model v1 · free for everyone

This is a financial institution (bank, insurer or financial holding). Our bankruptcy model is trained on ordinary trading and manufacturing companies; a bank balance sheet falls outside that scope. We therefore show no bankruptcy probability rather than a misleading figure.

Each band states what its claims rest on. A board seat is influence over the board, not ownership. Court mandates (receiver, interim administrator) and liquidation mandates do not link companies and are therefore absent here; they belong under Directors & mandates.
