Summary

RAYFERENCE has been active since 2014 and the Belgian Official Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €137,097 and a net result of €102,371. Equity fluctuates too strongly from year to year to read a trend from it. Its solvency ranks better than 38% of 272 sector peers (NACE 72, financial year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.2% (very low).

Credit of up to €12,000 on 30-day terms is acceptable
Liquidity is ample, with a current ratio of 2.76 (2.26 in 2024), above the usual 1.5. Short-term debt is 34.6% and cash 24.8% of total assets. However, 72.4% of the assets are financed with debt and provisions.
Calculation

The band follows from the bankruptcy probability. 10 more points roughly halve it.

75-100 Excellent under 0.55%
60-74 Healthy 0.55% to 1.5%
45-59 Fair 1.5% to 4.2%
25-44 Weak 4.2% to 15.0%
0-24 Critical over 15.0%

Where the company stands within its band depends half on the bankruptcy probability and half on how it does against its sector peers (NACE 72, micro). It does better than 31% of them on solvency, 55% on liquidity, 75% on profitability and 86% on growth.

The bankruptcy probability was computed on 04-11-2026 by the bankruptcy model of 2 October 2026, which learns from Belgian bankruptcies and reads the registers, the annual accounts and the Belgian Official Gazette.

Some facts cap the score, however low the probability. With negative or zero equity, a heavy loss, a special status in the KBO, one missing filing or accounts filed more than 90 days late, the score is Fair at most (59). With two missing filings, it is Weak at most (44). During a judicial reorganisation or at the company's end (bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), it is Critical at most (24).

The financial year that closed on 31-12-2025 was due by 31-07-2026 and was filed on 28-08-2026, 28 days later. Nearly half (47%) of Belgian companies file late; of those that file 1 to 90 days late, 2.0% are now bankrupt, dissolved or in another special legal status, against 1.66% of all filers.

above within below The sector band is the middle half of the companies in Scientific research and development (NACE 72). A quarter of them sit below it, a quarter above. Each year counts only accounts in the same format, and only where there are at least 30.

The operating result for 2025 is 62% higher than in 2024. It is the second rise in a row, after the fall in 2023.

Historical observation

In July 2024, 5,053 companies had the same profile as RAYFERENCE has now. Two years later, 95.8% were still going and 1.6% had gone bankrupt.

  • Micro
  • 10 to 20 years old
  • solvency 10 to 30%
  • a profit of 5% of the balance sheet or more
95.8% was still going
2.4% stopped otherwise
1.6% went bankrupt

Another 0.2% stopped without a precise date, possibly only after those two years.

The bankruptcy probability of RAYFERENCE itself is lower: 0.2% within 12 months. It rests on far more data about RAYFERENCE than the profile alone.

Test of the method

The method was tested on the 497,446 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.

The companies in ten equal groups, from the lowest to the 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%

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 5,053 companies, not a prediction for RAYFERENCE. 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.
