Summary

Lichen is a financial institution; the bankruptcy model is trained on trading and manufacturing companies and does not apply here. The 2024 annual accounts show equity of €137,613 and a net result of €33,712. Equity is growing by ~48.1% per year across the filed fiscal years. Its solvency ranks better than 75% of 9872 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The company has been active since 2021 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

Checked score

Outside the general model
Model not applicable to financial institutions
The Checked score weighs liquidity, leverage and margins against norms for trading and manufacturing companies. A bank, insurer or financial holding has a fundamentally different balance-sheet structure, so those ratios, and hence the score, carry no meaning here. That is why we show no financial axes either.
