From sector to company file
A sector provides context, but does not determine whether an individual company can pay. Combine identity details, available annual figures, payment experiences and insolvency notices. Check the source, reporting period and reference date for each piece of information. CreditCheck.nl provides credit information, not financing or financial advice.
Sector statistics: definitions before conclusions
On this page, we do not show unverified company counts, bankruptcy rates or average payment terms. The points to consider are editorial checkpoints, not measured sector statistics or a risk score.
The existing sector cards use SBI sections A–U. This classification does not automatically correspond to newer SBI versions. Always check the classification, population and period with CBS (Statistics Netherlands); do not combine figures from different classifications without reconciling them.
