Why we do this


CYA is a Cape Town based company. The recent spate of wildfires and increase in crime have affected hundreds of households who are now faced with the added stress of trying to list their possessions and claim as per their policy. Some households will not be able remember everything they owned and will lose out claiming as insurers require you to provide proof of ownership.

During the stressful aftermath of a catastrophe it is virtually impossible to try and recall everything you owned. We provide a comprehensive inventory of all your items, pictured-in-place in and outside your home. This is the only way to ensure that you receive full value from your insurance company. Being prepared for the unexpected with a professional inventory will give you greater piece of mind.
