Summary

VADEC has been active since 1986 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2026 annual accounts show negative equity (-€189,820) and a net result of -€67,984. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 10% of 242 sector peers (fiscal year 2026). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.6% (low).

Historical observation

Of the 6,639 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 4.1% went bankrupt within 24 months and 84% are still going.

  • Micro
  • 20 years or older
  • negative equity
  • a loss of 10% of the balance sheet or more
4.1% went bankrupt
9.8% stopped otherwise
84% still going

A further 2.0% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.

For this company itself Checked computes a lower bankruptcy probability: 0.6% over twelve months. The score reads more about this company than the group's four characteristics; both figures are right about what they measure.

How reliable is this rule?

Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,662 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.5%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.6%.

The companies in ten equal groups, from lowest to highest expected share.
Group Expected Actual
1 0.2% 0.2%
2 0.3% 0.4%
3 0.5% 0.5%
4 0.6% 0.7%
5 0.8% 0.9%
6 1.2% 1.3%
7 1.5% 1.7%
8 1.7% 1.7%
9 2.7% 2.8%
10 5.3% 5.7%

The rule ranks well: a company that went bankrupt got a higher share than one that kept going in 75% of comparisons. The level follows the economy: in a year with more bankruptcies, the actual share is higher than the year before.

An observation about 6,639 comparable companies, not a prediction for this company. The sector does not count: the register keeps no sector for companies that stopped, so it would make the outcome look better than it was.
