How Elite FI Partners Chooses the Right Administrators, Products, and Profit-Sharing Programs

Dealer and F&I partner shaking hands over a contract and financial charts, symbolizing transparency in administrators, products, and reinsurance.

Every dealership’s success in F&I comes down to one thing: the partners and programs they choose. The difference between an average finance office and a wealth-building one isn’t luck — it’s about aligning with the right administrators, offering the right products, and building profit-sharing structures that actually deliver. At Elite FI Partners, we’ve built our reputation on guiding dealers through that process with clarity, transparency, and proven results.

The Criteria for Selecting Administrators

The right administrator can make or break the dealer and customer experience. That’s why we carefully evaluate administrators based on:

  • Claims Management & Support – We only partner with administrators who consistently deliver fast, fair, and customer-friendly claims outcomes.

  • Compliance & Transparency – Every program we bring into a dealership is fully vetted for compliance with state and federal regulations.

  • Training & Support – Administrators must be more than back-office processors. We look for those who invest in dealer training, ongoing support, and in-store resources that actually move the needle.

Evaluating F&I Products

Not all products are created equal. Our evaluation process considers:

  • Coverage Range – From powertrain to exclusionary, EV and battery coverage, high-mileage vehicles, and even commercial-use products.

  • Administration Quality – The best coverage in the world means nothing if claims aren’t handled quickly and fairly.

  • Technology Integration – Products must integrate seamlessly with dealership DMS systems to streamline sales and reporting.

  • Customer Experience Impact – Ultimately, F&I products only matter when they are used. We prioritize solutions that protect customers and build dealership loyalty.

Profit-Sharing & Reinsurance Programs

Reinsurance isn’t one-size-fits-all. We help dealers analyze and select from structures such as:

  • CFC, NCFC, Super CFC, DOWC, Retro Programs – Each has unique benefits, and we break them down side by side for clarity.

  • Stable Products First – We recommend focusing on service contracts, limited warranties, and appearance protection. GAP, while popular, is excluded due to its volatility.

  • Long-Term Wealth Creation – Our programs are designed to build wealth and stability for dealers over time, while giving them control over claims and investment strategies.

Our Transparent Approach


At Elite FI Partners, transparency is everything. We provide:

  • Side-by-Side Comparisons – Dealers see exactly how one program stacks up against another.

  • Pro Forma Analysis – We model out real-world projections so dealers know what to expect.

  • In-Store Training & Support – Programs only succeed when dealership staff is confident in presenting them. That’s why training is built into every partnership.

Conclusion


The right administrators, products, and profit-sharing programs set the foundation for dealer success. At Elite FI Partners, we combine industry expertise with a dealer-first mindset to create long-term results.

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

Why Reinsurance Matters More Than Ever 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.

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...
