What the colour shows
Active companies: Companies registered in the KBO today, at their registered office (sole traders: their establishment).
Counted every night from the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises: a company or association sits at its registered office, a sole trader at its establishment.
The sector is the main activity in NACE 2025; the size the average staff (FTE) in the latest filed annual accounts.
New and bankruptcies: the same twelve months as on every market page; the part the map can place is under How we count. Bankruptcy probability: the score Checked computes every night; the median only from 30 companies with a score.
The colours are quantiles: each shade covers roughly the same number of municipalities. Municipalities as of 2025; boundaries and population (1 January 2024) from Statbel, open data.
How we count
Every Checked market page counts the same twelve months, September 2025 to August 2026, from the same nightly count of 28 September 2026. The same question gets the same answer everywhere.
