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.

Reinsurance 101: A Dealer’s First Steps to Profit Sharing – From Michael Aufmuth

I want to discuss the basics of how to set up a reinsurance program . Many dealers have heard about reinsurance, but it can seem complicated or out of reach. Once you hit the right contract volume, getting started is straightforward. My goal here is to give you a clear roadmap from building your volume to choosing the right structure so you can move from leaving money on the table to building long-term wealth through reinsurance. Step 1: Building Your Volume (Start Where You Are) Reinsurance works best once your dealership is consistently writing about 20 to 25 service contracts per month. That volume gives you the scale needed for underwriting profits and investment income to build real wealth over time. If you are not there yet, that is okay. Many dealers start with a retro profit-sharing program. This allows you to share in profits immediately while you build toward full reinsurance. It serves as a stepping stone, keeping you engaged with the back end instead of leaving everything t...
