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 46, small). It does better than 26% of them on solvency, 16% on liquidity, 9% on profitability and 3% on growth.

The bankruptcy probability was computed on 09-11-2026 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.

The probability rests on the annual accounts with balance sheet date 31-12-2024.

Of the companies with a bankruptcy probability in the elevated class on 30-06-2025, 6.3% went bankrupt within twelve months.

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).

Comparable companies, two years later

In July 2024, 2,507 companies had the same profile as Multi-Fish Frozen has now. Each dot stands for 7 companies, two years later.

96.4%
were still trading
1.8%
stopped another way
1.6%
went bankrupt
  • Small
  • 20 years or older
  • solvency 10 to 30%
  • a small loss

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

The bankruptcy probability of Multi-Fish Frozen itself is higher: 5.7% within 12 months. It rests on far more data about Multi-Fish Frozen than the profile alone.

Test of the method

The method was tested on the 497,447 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 2,507 companies, not a prediction for Multi-Fish Frozen. 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.

Credit verdict

Credit of up to €4,500 on 30-day terms, only on tighter conditions: elevated estimated bankruptcy probability calls for adjusted credit terms

Liquidity is tight, with a current ratio of 1.33 (2.15 in 2023), below the usual 1.5. Short-term debt is 75.1% and cash 7.9% of total assets. 77% of the assets are financed with debt and provisions.
