Summary

The annual accounts of QustomDot for financial year 2025 show a net loss of 73% of the equity at the start of that year. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €471,489 and a net result of -€1.2m. Equity is shrinking by about 20% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around financial year 2027. Its solvency ranks better than 25% of 4,319 sector peers (NACE 74, financial year 2025). The company has been active since 2020 and the Belgian Official Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.1% (very low).

Historical observation

Of the 1,133 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 6.4% went bankrupt within 24 months and 86.4% are still going.

  • Micro
  • 5 to 10 years old
  • solvency 10 to 30%
  • a loss of 10% of the balance sheet or more
6.4% went bankrupt
6.6% stopped otherwise
86.4% still going

A further 0.5% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.

For this company itself Checked computes a lower bankruptcy probability: 0.1% 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 497,445 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 1,133 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.
