DEN ECHO has been active since 1995 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €35k and a net result of €-11k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 82% of 13071 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 1.3% (low).
