Summary

Book'u has been active since 2015 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show negative equity (€-3.54M) and a net result of €-730k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 5% of 179 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.3% (very low).
