Summary
Conclusion
the dossier summarised in one paragraphGROUP 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.

Bankruptcy probability (12 mo)
Checked model v1 · free for everyoneThis 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.
