In 2002, Simon and Daniel Plant — two brothers with different but complementary skill sets, one with an accountancy background and the other with law — set up a restructuring business.
Since then, the original business has diversified and grown substantially, now forming the Exigen Group with over 90 staff members serving clients nationally.
The original aim was to simplify and guide directors through the complicated world of insolvency. We have a unique Group, offering complementary service lines to assist directors in financial difficulty explore various options.
Our core values lie in putting the client first: offering transparency and integrity, treating every client equally, and providing solid advice through our extensive knowledge, experience, and expertise.
We don’t seek ways to sell our insolvency services; instead, we first consider alternative routes to save the company.
If that is not possible, we look at restructuring rescue packages that could still save the company or, at the very least, the business. The Exigen Group provides an unrivalled mix of tailored services within the commercial finance sector to business owners, lenders, and accountants. These include turnaround and restructuring, business reviews, SME funding, sales ledger management, and property services.
Boasting the UK’s largest Invoice Finance brokerage and being the number one provider of MVLs, Exigen Group has won numerous awards for its business recovery and finance divisions.
Having worked with a substantial number of clients over the last 20 years, Exigen Group prides itself on being a trusted partner to UK businesses seeking to survive in an increasingly challenging business economy.
