The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 18% of 890 sector peers (NACE 71, financial year 2025). The company has been active since 2006 and the Belgian Official Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

Historical observation

Of the 2,507 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 1.6% went bankrupt within 24 months and 96.4% are still going.

  • Small
  • 20 years or older
  • solvency 10 to 30%
  • a small loss
1.6% went bankrupt
1.8% stopped otherwise
96.4% still going

A further 0.2% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.

For this company itself Checked computes a bankruptcy probability of 1.5% over twelve months; the group does not contradict it.

How reliable is this rule?

Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,445 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.6%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.7%.

The companies in ten equal groups, from lowest to highest expected share.
Group Expected Actual
1 0.2% 0.2%
2 0.3% 0.5%
3 0.5% 0.6%
4 0.7% 0.8%
5 0.9% 0.9%
6 1.3% 1.5%
7 1.6% 1.8%
8 1.8% 1.8%
9 3.0% 3.1%
10 5.6% 6.2%

The rule ranks well: a company that went bankrupt got a higher share than one that kept going in 74.5% of comparisons. The level follows the economy: in a year with more bankruptcies, the actual share is higher than the year before.

An observation about 2,507 comparable companies, not a prediction for this company. The sector does not count: the register keeps no sector for companies that stopped, so it would make the outcome look better than it was.
