Our vision and mission
Overcome growth hurdles
PEBCO AG sees itself as an enabler for SMEs to overcome growth hurdles. We deliberately act as a generalist and work across all segments of the company. The focus is on the structure, organization, financing and market environment of the company in combination with the client’s strategy. In doing so, we take into account both the overall context as well as important sub-areas such as compliance and risk issues, reporting and controlling systems and their structures. This is especially true in light of the steadily stricter growing regulations in the banking sector, which is becoming more and more important, especially for traditional SMEs.
Recognize and utilize changes
We know that the fast and adaptable will be the winners. PEBCO AG leads and manages the VUCA world together with its customers. VUCA stands in the economy for the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world – in economic as well as political, social or technological sense. Companies that want to thrive in such a world need to adapt to all aspects of doing business. We adapt the management processes to these changes and help your employees to function effectively in the midst of these turbulences.
Top Consultant
We have been distinguished several times as a top consultant and are therefore among the best SME-consultants in Germany.
