Summary
Howden Belgium is a financial institution; the bankruptcy model is trained on trading and manufacturing companies and does not apply here. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €16.2m and a net result of -€7.3m. Equity is shrinking by ~22.1% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2026. Its solvency ranks better than 44% of 603 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The company has been active since 2020 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

Checked score
Outside the general model
Checked score
A figure from 0 to 100 for financial health from the latest annual accounts: the higher, the healthier. Without a figure, the card says why. A low score is a reason to look closely at payment terms and security.
Model not applicable to financial institutions
The Checked score weighs liquidity, leverage and margins against norms for trading and manufacturing companies. A bank, insurer or financial holding has a fundamentally different balance-sheet structure, so those ratios, and hence the score, carry no meaning here. That is why we show no financial axes either.
Bankruptcy probability, 12 months
Bankruptcy probability
The chance that this company goes bankrupt within twelve months. A low chance is reassuring; with a higher one, agree shorter payment terms or an advance.
This is a financial institution (bank, insurer or financial holding). A bank balance sheet works differently from that of an ordinary trading or manufacturing company. We therefore show no bankruptcy probability rather than a misleading figure.
tick = median of all Belgian filingsring = median in the sector
This company filed its last 5 accounts on average 23 days before the deadline; the sector median for financial year 2024 is 5 days before the deadline, and 39% of the sector filed late.
