Summary

La Confiance has been active since 1996 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show negative equity (€-236k) and a net result of €-483k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 7% of 9038 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.6% (low).
