How these figures are counted

Enterprises are counted by their primary NACE; establishment units are not counted. Counted in the KBO's NACE 2025 nomenclature, the one in which code 17120 exists.

Bankruptcies and the failure rate are attributed by each company's current primary NACE, not the NACE at the time of bankruptcy (which the gazette does not record).

The comparison with the country and with the other NACE divisions comes from a nightly overview of every division, each counted in the nomenclature in which it exists. A standing such as "higher than 80%" counts the other divisions that have the figure. The bankruptcy probability is the median of our nightly score over the division's companies that have one; the count is stated.

The key figures cover the whole NACE division 17, not NACE 17120 on its own: there are too few filed annual accounts per five-digit code to compute them separately. Medians over NBB annual accounts, all schema types combined.
