Summary

The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability of VCS is 1.9% (moderate). The 2025 annual accounts show negative equity (€-496k) and a net result of €-548k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 5% of 1208 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The company has been active since 2016 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.
