First Extended Dealer Obligor

Generate Immediate Cash Flow with our Dealer Obligor Program

If increased cash flow is important for your dealership right now, leveraging a program designed for cash flow generation can help you drive immediate revenue without sacrificing your customers’ experience. With the First Extended Dealer Obligor program, you make the most out of every service contract you sell. And you control the money generated.

How it works:

  1. Dealer sells a car
  2. The F&I team sells a vehicle service contract for that car
  3. Contract and admin fee go to First Extended— reserve goes to dealership account
  4. Administrator adjudicates claims for contract life
  5. Dealership has 100% access to reserve and keeps 100% of underwriting profit and investment income

Cash Flow Example

Selling 75 service contracts per month with a $700 reserve cost

The chart below calculates the cash reserve at a dealership that sells 150 retail units per month, or 1,800 units per year, at a 50% service contract penetration rate. In this participation model, the dealer can immediately make use of the reserve until it’s needed for refunds, claims and taxes.
Time PeriodCash Reserved Generated
After 1 month$52,500
After 6 months$315,000
After 12 months$630,000
After 24 months$1,260,000
After 36 months$1,890,000
