Dealer Income Development
F&I products can be extremely profitable given the appropriate training. Our profit programs offer income protection and profit-sharing, key financial elements that make our programs and your dealership stand out.
Reinsurance Company Ownership
Reinsurance is a practice in which insurers transfer portions of portfolios to other parties in order to reduce their exposure to claims. Think of reinsurance as insurance for insurance companies. Our program underwrites the dealer’s business, provides enticements to close deals and has the potential to increase dealer revenue.
Reinsurance arrangements through Mid-South Dealer Services are organized by a dealer or group of dealers forming a company through an offshore jurisdiction. This qualifies the organization to accept reinsurance business from a U.S. insurer. Our goal is to help dealers create long-term revenue streams with significant economic advantages.
