What SFP Group does

SFP Group, trading primarily as Exigen Group, is a UK-based professional services firm founded in 2002 and headquartered at Royal Victoria Docks, London. It delivers restructuring, corporate recovery, and insolvency services to businesses facing financial distress, alongside adjacencies in property advisory (RICS-accredited surveying) and invoice finance / business funding. Service delivery is conducted by senior practitioners engaging directly with company directors, banks, accountants, and business owners through a consultative, referral-led B2B motion.

The group's offerings are organised into four operating brands: Exigen Group (administration, restructuring, and turnaround strategies), Liquidation Centre (CVLs, MVLs, solvent and insolvent closures), Exigen Property (acquisition, disposal, recovery, and development advisory), and Touch Financial (invoice finance and tailored business funding). Each brand operates under a unified group identity but is positioned to address discrete stages of the business life cycle. Case management is supported by a creditor portal and a published library of case studies, indicating modest workflow digitalisation around stakeholder communications.

The business operates as a private, UK-focused boutique professional services firm with 11-50 employees. There is no proprietary technology stack and no disclosed revenue, funding history, or ownership structure. Customer acquisition relies heavily on referrals from banks, accountants, and advisory partners (12 named partners), with engagements structured as quote-based professional fees (fixed project fees, hourly rates, or contingency arrangements depending on engagement type).
