Advanta Global Services

What Advanta Global Services does

Advanta Global Services is an independent, London-headquartered specialist firm providing loss adjusting, forensic accounting, risk surveying, and RICS-accredited engineering/quantity surveying services to the global insurance industry. Founded in 2003 by senior loss adjusters and forensic accountants, the firm manages large, technical and complex commercial claims across all major lines — including property, energy (offshore, renewables, power generation), construction (CAR/EAR with DSU), marine, fine art and specialty risks — for insurers, reinsurers, Lloyd's market participants, brokers, law practices and specialist forensic firms. Its differentiation rests on independence, deep technical qualifications and a global network spanning 60+ international locations across 55+ countries, delivered by 300+ qualified experts speaking 40+ languages.

The firm's operating model is B2B professional services delivered through direct senior-led client engagement, with go-to-market driven by established insurer relationships, partner referrals, participation in industry forums (e.g., Miami Latin American Claims (Re)Insurance Forum), and proactive CAT bulletins during catastrophic events. Revenue is generated on a fee basis across four interconnected service lines: Loss Adjusting (the primary offering), Forensic Accounting (investigation and dispute advisory), Risk Surveying (multidisciplinary engineering risk surveys) and Engineering/Quantity Surveying (RICS-accredited cost analysis). Where Advanta does not hold its own licence, it extends effective reach through regional strategic partnerships (e.g., HUATAI in China, GM Consulting USA/RayMar in the US, CPA/IXI Plus in France, General Adjusters Group in East Africa, CONTIN s.r.o. in Czech Republic).

Advanta operates as a privately held, independent firm with no disclosed parent, PE/VC investor, or public listing. The firm is in an active growth phase, having opened new offices in Lima, Santiago, Amman and Riyadh between late 2024 and late 2025 — the latter secured via its own KSA adjusting licence — while simultaneously building out specialty and renewables capabilities through senior leadership hires and expansion of its Specialty Risks Division.

Broad incumbents

• RPS Group: Global professional services firm providing consulting across energy, property, and insurance-related sectors including claims and risk consulting. Comparable in risk surveying and engineering services within an insurance-adjacent context, though diversified across broader sectors.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) firm with marine, offshore, and industrial risk surveying offerings relevant to insurance clients. Comparable in risk surveying and engineering services for large/complex industrial risks, though insurance is not its primary vertical.
• TÜV SÜD: Global TIC and risk engineering firm providing surveys, inspections, and technical advisory for insurers and large industrial clients. Comparable in risk surveying for complex engineering risks within an insurance-adjacent context, though much broader in scope.

Direct peers

• Crawford & Company: The world's largest independent provider of claims management and loss adjusting solutions, serving insurers, corporates, and government clients globally. Directly comparable in core loss-adjusting services, global multi-line capability, and CAT response, though materially larger in scale.
• McLarens: Global independent loss adjusting and claims management firm focused on commercial, complex, and major loss claims. Closely comparable in mid-size independent positioning, multi-line specialism, and global network model serving insurers and reinsurers.
• Questgates: UK-headquartered loss adjusting and claims solutions firm operating nationally and internationally across commercial and specialist lines. Comparable in mid-size UK-rooted independent positioning, multi-disciplinary claims handling, and service mix to UK insurers and brokers.
• Sedgwick: Global claims management, loss adjusting, and risk services firm serving insurers and large corporates. Overlaps directly with Advanta in commercial loss adjusting and forensic/accounting services, and is significantly larger with broader technology platforms.
• Charles Taylor: London-based global insurance services group providing loss adjusting, claims management, and related professional services to insurers and reinsurers. Comparable in UK/Lloyd's market roots, global professional services delivery, and London-headquartered international network.
• Ellis & Partners: UK loss adjusting practice handling commercial and specialist claims for insurers and corporate clients. Closely comparable in independent loss-adjusting delivery to UK insurance market clients, though smaller and more UK-focused than Advanta's global network.

Emerging players
