Dealer Reinsurance: Building Wealth Through the New Standard in F&I

Why Reinsurance Matters More Than Ever

Automotive Reinsurance | Elite FI Partners

For years, dealerships relied on product sales as their main source of F&I income. While profitable, these transactions often left long-term wealth on the table. At Elite FI Partners, Emilia and I set out to change that. Our goal is simple: help dealers take ownership of their financial future through transparent and effective dealer reinsurance strategies.

Automotive Reinsurance as a Cornerstone of Growth

Reinsurance is not just a financial tool; it is the foundation of long-term dealer wealth. By creating structures that allow dealerships to participate directly in the underwriting profit, automotive reinsurance transforms F&I from a transactional model into a wealth-building engine. The key is clarity. We provide side-by-side comparisons and pro forma analysis so dealers understand exactly how these structures work and what they mean for their bottom line.

F&I Reinsurance Options Tailored for Every Dealer

Not every program is the same, and not every dealer has the same goals. That is why we offer flexible F&I reinsurance options, including CFCs, NCFCs, retro profit sharing, and DOWC structures. Each program comes with its own benefits and considerations, but the end goal is always the same: building generational wealth while maintaining transparency and compliance.

The Role of DOWC in Dealer Wealth Programs

For some dealers, a Dealer-Owned Warranty Company (DOWC) provides the perfect balance of control and flexibility. A DOWC allows the dealer to capture additional revenue by moving beyond traditional ceding models. At Elite FI, we walk our partners through every detail of how a DOWC operates, from accounting treatment to tax implications, so there are no surprises. Transparency is at the core of everything we do.

Raising the Standard in Reinsurance

Our commitment is not just to offer reinsurance programs but to redefine what it means to be a true partner in F&I. We aim to become the new standard in how dealer reinsurance is implemented and supported. That means clear reporting, adaptive training for finance managers, and ongoing support to ensure dealers maximize both their profitability and their long-term wealth potential.

The Path Forward

Reinsurance is not optional for dealers who want to take control of their future. It is essential. At Elite FI Partners, we are committed to giving our partners the education, tools, and strategies to build wealth that lasts for generations.

The Journey of Elite FI Partners: Building Dealer Wealth with Purpose

Introduction: Who I Am and Why I Started Elite FI Partners Michael Aufmuth | Elite FI Partners My name is Michael Aufmuth , and my journey in the automotive industry began back in 1997 at my family’s dealerships in Tucson, Arizona. I grew up in this business, working in sales, finance, and eventually general management, but I found my true passion in the finance office. For over 13 years, I have built and led F&I departments, focusing on process, profitability, and customer experience. Along the way, I even developed a dealer management system to streamline deal structuring, a project born out of my background in computer science. In 2013, my wife, Emilia, and I expanded into the vendor side of the business, training and developing F&I processes for Mazda and Volvo dealerships nationwide. That experience opened our eyes to the bigger picture. Dealers didn’t just need products; they needed partners who would stand beside them with training, coaching, and wealth-building strate...

Understanding the Different Types of F&I Reinsurance

Introduction: Why I Believe F&I Reinsurance Matters for Dealers Over the years, I have seen firsthand how F&I reinsurance can transform a dealership. What begins as a profit center in the finance office can become a long-term wealth engine when dealers take ownership of the underwriting profits from their F&I products. The key is understanding the different structures available and knowing which one fits your dealership’s size, goals, and future ambitions. Retro Profit Sharing Programs For many dealers I have worked with, retro profit sharing is the first step into profit participation. A retro program allows you to share in underwriting profits without having to form your own reinsurance company. It does not require upfront investment, which makes it a great introduction. While it is not as lucrative as other structures, it helps dealers start to see beyond just the monthly profit and toward long term potential.
