Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide

Deadline passed, not yet counted as missing

The deadline for the year that closed on 31-12-2025 passed on 31-07-2026, 16 days ago. Our copy of the deposit register trails the National Bank (measured: median 14 days, p99 45 days), so we only call this filing missing from 45 days past the deadline.

Latest accounts filed on time

The financial year that closed on 31-12-2024 was due by 31-07-2025 and was filed on 24-06-2025, 37 days ahead of the deadline. This speaks to administrative punctuality and says nothing about the financial position.

How we compute the deadline

The year end is derived from 4 filed financial years, each closing on 31-12. 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

More than 3 years active

Founded in 2020, past the statistically most fragile first 3 years.

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.

Trajectory (indicative)

Projection over 3 fiscal years from the filed annual accounts, not a forecast, the extended trend.

growing Equity: growth of ~53.6%/year over 4 fiscal years, indicative, assuming unchanged policy.

Solid line = filed figures · dashed = extended trend · area = indicative range.

How do we compute this?

The trend is a robust median of all pairwise slopes between fiscal years (Theil-Sen), so a single odd year cannot hijack the line. For strictly positive series we also fit a log variant (compound annual growth) and keep whichever describes the figures best.

The area around the projection is 1.8 × the median absolute deviation from the trend, widening each year ahead (×1 / ×1.6 / ×2.2), with a minimum of 8% of the last value. It is an indicative range, not a statistical confidence interval.

A series whose deviations exceed 35% of its level is too volatile: we then deliberately show no projection. Every projection assumes unchanged policy and is blind to non-public information (order book, contracts, funding rounds).
