0.5%
Very low
0%0.5%1.5%4%10%≥ 25%
About 5 in 1,000 comparable companies go bankrupt within 12 months (an estimate).
Credit of up to €360,000 on 30-day terms is acceptable
Liquidity ample (current ratio 2.04, compared with 0.85 in 2024; short-term debt: 19.7% and cash: 16.1% of total assets), and 20.1% 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 43, small): better than 95% on solvency, 79% on liquidity, 98% on profitability and 93% on growth.
Provisional estimate: the current bankruptcy probability was not available, so Checked used its built-in model.
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).
