NBB financials as sales signals

What NBB signals unlock in Prospexi

• Three-year revenue and EBITDA trend per company

  We ingest the last three filed annual accounts per company and compute year-over-year growth, margin evolution and cashflow direction. Turns into a momentum score per prospect.

• Growth-stage detection

  Companies growing 15%+ per year for two consecutive years are surfaced as scaling. Combined with headcount growth and capital events, these are strong buying signals for tools, services and hires.

• Distress-signal filtering

  Sales teams selling to healthy companies want to filter out those in decline. NBB data surfaces revenue drops and margin compression before they hit the news.

• Sector benchmarking

  A company growing 8% in a sector averaging 3% is different from one growing 8% in a sector averaging 12%. NBB data lets us benchmark and score relative performance.

What NBB data alone doesn't tell you

• Who to call

  NBB gives you financial trends. Prospexi cross-references with KBO to give you the peer comparison by sector tied to those financials.

• Why now

  Financial trends are lagging indicators. Combined with Staatsblad (director changes) and the Flemish subsidy register (subsidies won), they become predictive instead of retrospective.

• Real-time momentum

  NBB filings are annual. For real-time change we monitor Staatsblad, procurement wins and job postings. The full signal stack combines all four.

Frequently asked

• Aren't NBB accounts publicly available already?

  Yes. NBB filings are free to consult. But structured, cleaned, cross-company-comparable data for 1.18M Belgian companies is not what raw NBB gives you. Prospexi's value is the ranking and benchmarking, not the access.

• How current is the NBB data you use?

  Companies file within 30 days of AGM (typically Q2-Q3 for calendar-year filings). Our most recent NBB dataset is refreshed monthly to catch late filings and corrections.

• Can I score prospects based on financial thresholds (e.g. minimum revenue €500K)?

  Yes. Financial thresholds are a first-class filter in every ICP definition. You can combine (revenue >€500K) AND (headcount 10-50) AND (sector: professional services) as a single ICP.

• What about companies too small to file full NBB accounts?

  SMBs file abbreviated statements. We work with what's filed and mark companies where financial data is incomplete so scoring doesn't penalise them wrongly.
