Summary

Herbo - Werken has been active since 1978 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show negative equity (€-39k) and a net result of €-60k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 9% of 9982 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.7% (low).
