Measured nationally: Of 108,768 bankruptcies of legal entities across Belgium, 49% were closed within five years for insufficient assets and 29% after liquidation, 3% were withdrawn. After five years, 20% were still open. Half had ended after 26 months (a quarter after 15, three quarters after 51 months).

This counts companies with this main activity in the register on 13 November 2026. The outcome itself is not measured by sector. The activity of a company that leaves the register after its bankruptcy is too often not kept to compare closed cases fairly.

Outcome by court and division

83 of the 22,432 companies in NACE division 82 have a parent company abroad. Main parent countries: Netherlands (28), Luxembourg (13) and France (10). Together they employ 4,463 of the division's 34,402 FTE: 13%, against 14% for Belgium as a whole.

Insights on Office administrative, office support and other business support activities

Inflow and structure. This activity holds 17.9% of the registrations of Office administrative support.

The comparison with Belgium as a whole and with the other divisions is as of 13-11-2026 05:30.

Method and sources

Every company registered today counts under its main activities in the KBO. Establishment units do not count. Staff counts once, under the employer's first main activity, from its latest accounts and only where it fits the staff costs. The count follows the NACE 2008 classification, the version in which code 82110 exists.

The bankruptcies over five years count only companies still registered today, because the activity of a company that left the register is not kept. So they are fewer than the bankruptcies of those years, and the figure is not a probability for the future. Over twelve months the count is nearly complete, because a bankrupt company stays registered while its bankruptcy runs. A company with more than one main activity counts in each of those sectors.

The comparison with Belgium as a whole and with the other NACE divisions rests on an overview of every division, counted again each night. Each division is counted in the version of the NACE classification in which it exists. A standing such as "more than in 80%" compares with the other divisions that have the figure. A division's bankruptcy probability is the median over its companies with a score. Belgium here counts the 1,276,396 companies with a main activity, because only those belong to a division. The other 700,156 registrations publish no activity.
