Bankruptcy probability
No current score
Checked score
A figure from 0 to 100: the higher it is, the smaller the chance that the company goes bankrupt within twelve months. The band, from Critical to Excellent, follows from that chance; within the band, how the company does against its sector peers counts too. With a low score, agree a shorter payment term, an advance or security.
Figures too old
The available figures for FY 2020 are too old to assess current financial health.
Bankruptcy probability: Elevated
Filing: Five or more filing cycles are missing. This points to a standstill, not an imminent failure.
Financial strength, FY 2020
Financial strength
How strong the balance sheet and results are: solvency, liquidity and profitability from the latest annual accounts, each out of 100. It does not directly set the Checked score's band; how the company does on these and on growth against its sector peers does count for its place within the band.

The financial year that closed on 31-12-2020 was due by 31-07-2021 and was filed on 30-08-2021, 30 days later. Nearly half (47%) of Belgian companies file late; of those that file 1 to 90 days late, 2.0% are now bankrupt, dissolved or in another special legal status, against 1.66% of all filers. A delay like this does not count in the score.
