Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
Latest accounts filed on time
The financial year that closed on 31-12-2024 was due by 31-07-2025 and was filed on 06-06-2025, 55 days ahead of the deadline. This speaks to administrative punctuality and says nothing about the financial position.
How we compute the deadline
There is a single filed set of accounts, closing on 31-12. That date is certain, but one observation does not establish the rhythm (a first financial year may run longer than twelve months), so we project no following year. The statutory deadline is seven months after the close of the financial year (art. 3:10 par. 1 CAC, art. 3:47 par. 7 for ASBL and foundations). Applied to the financial year that closed on 31-12-2024, that is 31-07-2025.

Trust signals

2 signals
Young company
Founded in 2024, under 3 years, statistically higher risk.
No legal incidents
No bankruptcy, reorganisation or interim measure in the Belgisch Staatsblad, and the KBO register records a normal legal situation.

Administrative Flags

No strikeouts found in the KBO publications we processed. That series starts in 2021 and has gaps, so this is not a confirmation that there is nothing.
