Questions

Questions about bankruptcies in Belgium

Where do the figures come from?

From the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (CBE). A bankruptcy counts for the day the CBE showed the new legal status; the court ruling can be a few days earlier.

Why two sources in the monthly chart?

For the months before we tracked the CBE ourselves, we show Statbel's official monthly figures. Statbel counts by date of judgment, we count by the day the CBE showed the bankruptcy. The transition may therefore differ by a few percent.

What does "currently bankrupt per the CBE" mean?

All companies that are bankrupt in the CBE today, even if it started years ago. A bankruptcy stays in the CBE until it is closed.

Why do some bankruptcies show no name?

Sole proprietorships are natural persons. We do not show their name.

Can I get an alert when a customer goes bankrupt?

Yes. Put your customers in a list on Nummo and you get an email the morning after the CBE shows the bankruptcy. With the free check above you immediately see who is already in proceedings today.

Source: CBE. A bankruptcy counts for the day we saw it in the CBE update; the judgment may be a few days earlier. Sole proprietorships are shown without a name. Monthly figures from before our own tracking: Statbel (Statistics Belgium), open data, by date of judgment.
