Historical observation

Of the 17,027 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 0.5% went bankrupt within 24 months and 94% are still going.

  • Micro
  • 20 years or older
  • solvency 30% or more
  • a profit under 5% of the balance sheet
0.5% went bankrupt
4.9% stopped otherwise
94% still going

A further 0.3% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.

For this company itself Checked computes a higher bankruptcy probability: 1.0% over twelve months. The score reads more about this company than the group's four characteristics; both figures are right about what they measure.

How reliable is this rule?

Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,662 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.5%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.6%.

The companies in ten equal groups, from lowest to highest expected share.
Group Expected Actual
1 0.2% 0.2%
2 0.3% 0.4%
3 0.5% 0.5%
4 0.6% 0.7%
5 0.8% 0.9%
6 1.2% 1.3%
7 1.5% 1.7%
8 1.7% 1.7%
9 2.7% 2.8%
10 5.3% 5.7%

The rule ranks well: a company that went bankrupt got a higher share than one that kept going in 75% 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 17,027 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.
