BELG - Euro DB - Belgian Companies





Content



Financial analysis of Belgian companies.

BELG contains financial information on companies in Belgium -
currently over 200,000 are included in the database. Euro DB
includes complete financial data for all the companies of commercial
significance in Belgium, from every sector of industry and commerce.

Each company document contains reference and financial information
in a consistent, standardised form which allows you to make easy
comparisons between companies. The reference information includes
company name, address and telephone/fax number, senior management
names, legal status, trade register, NACE codes and descriptive
text, number of employees, and year of foundation. An indication is
also made if full or abridged accounts have been filed. The
financial information includes the three most recent balance sheets,
profit and loss accounts, and business ratios.

Use BELG to:
- find detailed financial information on a specific company;
- trace the names of managers of a company;
- monitor companies for potential mergers and acquisitions
purposes
- carry out market and industry research;
- create highly targeted mailing lists;
- find answers to detailed questions such as 'which electronics
companies in the Namur area have sales between BF50 and BF100
million?'

Sources
Data in Euro DB comes from two principal sources: The Central
Register of Commerce (Registre Central du Commerce) - which is based
on information filed at the thirty regional Tribunaux de Commerce -
and Origin. This latter database is an amalgamation of data from
official and publicly available sources, information from the Banque
Nationale de Belge, written and telephone interviews with company
officials, membership lists of professional organisations, official
statistics and yearbooks.

The database is completely refreshed quarterly so the update date is
the same for all documents

The ..LIMIT feature applies to the latest year only. Unless
otherwise stated, the financials in BELG are in thousands.

Excluding documents where no data is available:
When using limit options you should first exclude those documents
for which no data is available by using the =NA feature (see example
2/3 above).

How to include/exclude positive and negative figures:
You can also restrict retrieval to those companies with positive or
negative figures by using the =NEGATIVE feature (see example 6/7
above).

A negative is indicated in the display by a minus-sign to the right
of the figure in question.
