The Dealer’s Guide to Automotive Reinsurance Structures

Dealer Reinsurance: 

Building Wealth and Control in F&I

choosing the correct dealer reinsurance program

For too long, many dealerships have relied on simple commission models for F&I products like service contracts, GAP protection, and ancillary coverage. While these programs generate revenue, much of the profit—including underwriting and investment income—often stays with the insurance carrier.

Dealer reinsurance changes that equation. By creating their own reinsurance structure, dealers can capture more of the profit, build long-term wealth, and gain greater control over their F&I programs.

At Elite FI Partners, we specialize in helping dealers understand and implement the right reinsurance program for their business, whether they are just getting started or ready to explore advanced structures.


What is Dealer Reinsurance?

At its core, dealer reinsurance allows a dealership to form its own reinsurance company that assumes risk from the F&I products sold. Instead of simply receiving a commission, the dealership participates directly in underwriting profits, investment returns, and reserve management.

This strategy transforms F&I from a month-to-month revenue source into a long-term wealth-building platform.


Automotive Reinsurance Structures

Not all reinsurance programs are created equal. The right choice depends on your dealership’s size, goals, and long-term vision. Common automotive reinsurance structures include:

  • Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) – Offers established tax benefits with IRS recognition.

  • Non-Controlled Foreign Corporation (NCFC) – Designed for large dealer groups with scale.

  • Super CFC – A modern hybrid structure that blends tax efficiency with direct dealer benefits. Learn more about our Super CFC Reinsurance Program.

  • Dealer-Owned Warranty Company (DOWC) – A flexible U.S.-based structure that lets the dealer act as the warranty provider. Explore the DOWC model here.

Each structure offers unique advantages, and our team at Elite FI Partners provides side-by-side analysis to help you determine which best aligns with your dealership’s growth plan.


Why Choose Elite FI Partners for Reinsurance?

At Elite FI Partners, we go beyond simply setting up a reinsurance program. We provide:

  • Transparent Fee Analysis – Clear breakdowns of ceding, admin, and claims adjudication fees.

  • Adaptive Training & Support – Ensuring your finance managers present products confidently and compliantly.

  • Growth Strategies – Helping you leverage reinsurance to fund expansion, create succession planning strategies, or even develop tax-advantaged wealth.

Our mission is to help dealerships not just participate in F&I profits, but truly take control of them.


The Future of F&I is Dealer-Owned

As the automotive industry continues to evolve, successful dealers will be those who view F&I as more than just a back-end department. With dealer reinsurance, DOWC, and Super CFC structures, you can create a long-term profit engine that fuels dealership growth for years to come.
