Signals

1 signal · with evidence
Persistent losses
Two consecutive loss-making years (2023 and 2024); equity fell accordingly. May indicate structural pressure on profitability.

Signals are derived from the filed annual accounts and the sector comparison. No composite score: each signal is separately verifiable at the source.

Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
Filing behaviour not assessed
The register records an open bankruptcy. From that point the trustee files and the ordinary seven-month rhythm no longer governs. The register carries no start date, so we cannot tell which filings fall before it: we show the facts and do not assess the behaviour.
Latest accounts filed on time
The financial year that closed on 30-09-2024 was due by 30-04-2025 and was filed on 30-04-2025, 0 days ahead of the deadline. This speaks to administrative punctuality and says nothing about the financial position.
How we compute the deadline
The year end is derived from 10 filed financial years, each closing on 30-09. The statutory deadline is seven months after the close of the financial year (art. 3:10 par. 1 CAC, art. 3:47 par. 7 for ASBL and foundations). Applied to the financial year that closed on 30-09-2024, that is 30-04-2025.

Structure & network

Ownership & control

No ownership or control structure found in the sources.

For this we read shareholding and parent/subsidiary relations from the acts in the Belgian State Gazette, plus the board seats that legal entities hold in one another. Nothing of the sort is published for this company, which is common: most Belgian companies do not publish a shareholding structure.

1 court or liquidation mandate is on record for this company. Such a mandate is a fact about the company itself, not about a tie to another one: two bankruptcies handled by the same receiver are two separate cases. They are listed under Directors & mandates.
