PPH

What PPH does

PPHConsulting e.K. is a privately held German sole proprietorship (e.K.) established in 2004 by Peter Bernstein-Hallermayr, operating from Starnberg, Bavaria. The firm delivers bespoke professional consulting services across three interconnected practice areas: financing advisory for private and commercial clients (covering real estate and acquisitions), business consulting (including cost-saving analysis and fleet optimization), and automotive transport logistics consulting. The founder's two decades of automotive industry experience underpin the firm's positioning, particularly in fleet cost management and transport logistics for corporate clients.

The firm serves a dual client base: high-net-worth private individuals (Gehobene Privatkunden) seeking confidential advisory on real estate financing and major acquisitions, and corporate clients drawn from industry, trade, craft, and service sectors requiring business consulting, fleet optimization, and transport logistics expertise. Customer acquisition is conducted primarily through direct personal consultation, on-site visits, and word-of-mouth referrals — there is no documented digital marketing footprint beyond a basic corporate website.

PPHConsulting generates revenue through individualized consulting engagements (professional services model), with pricing not publicly disclosed. Distribution is entirely domestic (Germany, focused on Bavaria), conducted via direct on-site consultation and contact channels including phone, fax, and email. The firm has no funding rounds, no subsidiaries, no disclosed external investors, no technology platform or software product, and operates with 11-50 employees. Its competitive positioning rests on confidentiality, personal relationships, and the founder's automotive sector expertise rather than on technology, scale, or ecosystem lock-in.
