The confirmation of the indicative offer by the seller is followed by the start of due diligence, which PID or POSSEHL usually undertakes through their own management
Binding offer
After due diligence has been carried out, the seller receives the binding offer
Conclusion
If the binding offer is approved, the sale is concluded with the closing
Convincing. Clear. Diverse.
Benefits for sellers
Transparency
Full transparency across the process at all times.
Cooperation
Intensive familiarisation process and close exchange with the PID management team.
Conditions
Fair and attractive valuation of your company – from the beginning.
Effectiveness

Strengthening
Debt relief for the company by integrating the company into the POSSEHL cash pool.
Confidentiality
