MERKADO
The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability of MERKADO is 1.8% (moderate). The 2024 annual accounts show negative equity (€-28k) and a net result of €138k. Equity is growing by ~64.4% per year across the filed fiscal years. Its solvency ranks better than 8% of 2542 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The company has been active since 2021 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

The trend is a robust median of all pairwise slopes between fiscal years (Theil-Sen), so a single odd year cannot hijack the line. For strictly positive series we also fit a log variant (compound annual growth) and keep whichever describes the figures best.
The area around the projection is 1.8 × the median absolute deviation from the trend, widening each year ahead (×1 / ×1.6 / ×2.2), with a minimum of 8% of the last value. It is an indicative range, not a statistical confidence interval.
A series whose deviations exceed 35% of its level is too volatile: we then deliberately show no projection. Every projection assumes unchanged policy and is blind to non-public information (order book, contracts, funding rounds).

Each band states what its claims rest on. A board seat is influence over the board, not ownership. Court mandates (receiver, interim administrator) and liquidation mandates do not link companies and are therefore absent here; they belong under Directors & mandates.
Parcels linked to this company through its CBE addresses (seat, establishment units, branches), cross-referenced with the cadastral parcel plan. This shows where the company operates, not a deeds register.
