Summary

Référence Placard has been active since 2014 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show equity of €26k and a net result of €-21k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 39% of 4352 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.5% (very low).
