Summary

PUZZLE ACTIVITIES has been active since 2016 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show negative equity (€-152k) and a net result of €23k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 9% of 3022 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.6% (low).

The financial year that closed on 31-12-2024 was due by 31-07-2025 and was filed on 09-10-2025, 70 days later. For context: 47% of the Belgian market files late and the whole 1-to-90-day band measures 2.0% abnormal legal state against a 1.66% average. We show this as a fact and do not score it.
