Proloss

What Proloss does

Proloss is a South African loss-adjusting firm founded in 2005, specializing in corporate and commercial insurance claims across casualty, engineering and construction, financial lines, property, specie, and other specialty lines. The firm is headquartered in Cape Town with offices in Johannesburg, Durban, and London, and operates a primarily human-expertise-driven service model in which chartered loss adjusters conduct on-site assessment, investigation, and settlement negotiation for insurance carriers and corporate policyholders. Service offerings are structured around six core product lines plus a claims investigation service, with each line addressing specific policy categories such as contractors' all risks, fidelity guarantee, high-value cargo, and business interruption.

The company is privately held and wholly owned by management and senior employees, with no external institutional or private equity investment. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on panel appointments with insurance carriers, broker relationships, and a recently launched LinkedIn and email-marketing layer. The Adjusteck strategic partnership (April 2024) extends reach into UK and US insurance and reinsurance markets. Proloss differentiates through long-tenured adjusters (29-38+ years of experience), R50 million plus R30 million in professional indemnity coverage, and Institute of Loss Adjusters affiliations. Revenue is generated through professional services fees per claim, with pricing not publicly disclosed and no headcount visibility beyond the 11-50 employee band.

Direct peers

• Charles Taylor Adjusting: UK-headquartered loss adjusting and claims management services for insurers worldwide. Comparable in that it offers professional loss adjusting across commercial and specialty lines; Proloss's London office and Adjusteck partnership target the same international reinsurance client base.
• McLarens: International loss adjusting and claims management firm specializing in commercial, property, and specialty claims. Closely comparable to Proloss in service mix (casualty, property, specie, financial lines) and customer base (insurers and reinsurers).
• Davies Group: UK-based specialist professional services firm providing claims solutions, loss adjusting, and insurance services. Overlaps with Proloss's core adjusting offering for commercial insurance claims across multiple lines of business.
• Echelon Claims Services: Independent claims adjusting and loss management firm handling commercial property, casualty, and specialty claims. Comparable business model — fee-based independent adjusting for insurer clients — though operating in different geographies.

Broad incumbents

• Crawford & Company: Global leader in claims management and loss adjusting serving insurers and corporates across 70+ countries. Comparable because it provides the same independent loss adjusting and claims investigation services Proloss offers, but at significantly larger scale and geographic breadth.
• Sedgwick: Major global claims management and loss adjusting firm (formed in part from Cunningham Lindsey). Directly comparable service model — property, casualty, and specialty claims adjusting for insurers — but with global scale far exceeding Proloss's regional footprint.

Regional players
