The Groom has been active since 2001 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show negative equity (€-23k) and a net result of €-4k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 25% of 2267 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.3% (very low).
