Where your figures sit among your peers' accounts. The band shows the middle half, the tick the median.
What others see as a warning
The signals in your dossier that raise the risk, as a credit manager reads them.
- Young companyA young company has little track record yet and statistically fails more often than an established one.
- Higher-failure-rate sectorIn this sector companies fail more often than the Belgian average.
- Multiple establishment unitsSeveral establishment units mean more fixed costs, and such companies fail more often than a company with one establishment.
- Annual accounts: weaker financial profileThe latest annual accounts show a weaker profile in solvency, result or liquidity than companies that stay afloat.
- Higher-failure-rate regionIn this region companies fail more often than in the rest of the country.
What you can do
Concrete steps, each based on a fact from your own dossier.

Keep your short-term debts in hand
Your current assets cover 0.64 times your debts due within a year (2024). Below 1, not every short-term debt can be paid from current assets. Shorter payment terms for customers or moving short-term credit to the long term help.
