Gelotology has been active since 2013 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €70k and a net result of €3k. Equity is shrinking by ~15.1% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2027. Its solvency ranks better than 46% of 1502 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.3% (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.

Directors
no sitting director, no change since 2022
We have established no sitting directors for this company. We derive directors from published Gazette acts; while there are none, or none read, nothing appears here. That does not mean the company has none: the CBE keeps its own list of function holders, which we do not read.
