Powersports reinsurance for dealer services is a structure that allows a dealership to reinsure eligible F&I products through its own dealer-owned reinsurance company. Instead of sending underwriting profits to a third-party provider, the dealer retains more of that income while gaining greater visibility into claims performance, reserves, and long-term profitability across selected products.
