- 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.
- Two or more financial years not filedSince the financial year that closed on 31-12-2022, 4 financial years are missing at the National Bank. A company this far behind goes bankrupt within the year nineteen times as often as a punctual filer.
