Debts exceed assets in financial year 2025.
Every financial year from 2018 to 2025 closed with a deficit. 2019 was the heaviest.
Of this, €539,356 falls due within a year.
NOW FUTURE pays its suppliers 23,835 days later than in 2024.
Lower solvency than 95% of companies in publishing. Sector median 42.9% · 345 companies.
In July 2024, 6,618 companies had the same profile as NOW FUTURE has now. Each dot stands for 17 companies, two years later.
Another 1.0% stopped without a precise date, possibly only after those two years.
The method was tested on the 497,331 companies of July 2024. Each company was given the bankruptcy share of the same profile a year earlier, in July 2023. The expectation was that 1.6% would go bankrupt within 24 months. In fact 1.7% went bankrupt.
| 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 | 2.9% | 3.1% |
| 10 | 5.6% | 6.1% |
A company that went bankrupt had a higher expected share than one that kept going in 74.5% of comparisons. The level depends on the economy. In a year with more bankruptcies than the year before, the actual share is higher than the expected one.
This is an observation about 6,618 companies, not a prediction for NOW FUTURE. The sector does not count, because the KBO no longer lists a sector for a company that has stopped. By sector, mostly the survivors would count, which would paint too rosy a picture.
