Partner with the gold standard in dealer-owned reinsurance. For nearly three decades, we've helped auto dealers nationwide reclaim profits, control claims, and deliver exceptional customer experiences through comprehensive admin obligor reinsurance programs. Our proven structured solutions transform your F&I department into a profit center while ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
Comprehensive admin obligor reinsurance solutions that maximize dealer profitability and protect customer investments.
Reinsure extended warranties in your own company to capture underwriting profits previously sent to third parties. Customizable terms and coverage levels from 72-month exclusionary wraps to short-term powertrain contracts, designed to fit your inventory and business model.
Deficiency balance waiver covering the difference between insurance settlement and loan balance for total loss events. Features 150% or 125% LTV coverage, includes deductible coverage up to $1,000, and protects customers while generating dealer profits.
Reinsured waiver for BHPH dealers that covers total debt in case of vehicle loss, allowing customers to get into another car and resume payments. More affordable than full coverage insurance while reserving premiums in your reinsurance company.
Force-placed coverage protecting creditor interest when customers fail to maintain required physical damage insurance. Reinsure CPI in your dealer-owned company to capture underwriting profits while fulfilling credit agreement requirements.
Customizable mechanical breakdown coverages that differentiate your dealership from competitors. Reinsuring with your own company allows you to control the customer ownership experience and retain profits typically lost to third-party warranty providers.
Protects lenders when vehicles are damaged or destroyed without proper insurance coverage. Covers repossession inability losses, towing and storage costs, and skip tracing expenses, providing comprehensive creditor protection.
Structured reinsurance isn't just about compliance—it's about reclaiming the profits that have been flowing to third-party warranty and insurance companies. Our admin obligor programs allow you to establish your own A-rated reinsurance company, control claims experiences, and capture 100% of underwriting profits. With 28 years of proven expertise, we handle all legal filings, tax returns, claims adjudication, and compliance while you focus on selling cars and serving customers better.

Structured reinsurance is a financial arrangement where auto dealers establish their own reinsurance companies to underwrite F&I products like extended warranties, GAP coverage, and protection plans. Instead of paying premiums to third-party warranty companies, dealers collect premiums from customers, reserve them in their own A-rated reinsurance company, and pay claims directly. This admin obligor structure allows dealers to capture 100% of underwriting profits while maintaining compliance with state regulations. The reinsurance company is backed by highly-rated insurance carriers, ensuring financial stability and customer protection while maximizing dealer profitability.
