SETESCO Structural Engineers has been active since 1967 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €181k and a net result of €-75k. Equity is shrinking by ~12.8% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2028. Its solvency ranks better than 45% of 715 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.2% (very low).

The financial year that closed on 31-12-2025 was due by 31-07-2026 and was filed on 31-08-2026, 31 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.
