For Orange and Lake County dealerships

Orlando DRIVE

A stronger offer for the team that drives your business.

Explore a practical way to strengthen your hiring and retention story through employee benefit options and hands-on support for your dealership team.

Local dealerships. Stronger teams.

The initiative

Give your team more reason to stay.

Orlando DRIVE is built for smaller Florida dealerships that want to compete for skilled people without building a large-company benefits department. We help qualifying leaders explore benefit options for employees and their families, then bring the conversation directly to the team.

Start with a short eligibility check. We will review the fit, learn what your people need, and explain the available terms before you decide what comes next.

Check the initial program criteria, then share a few details about your dealership. The next conversation is about your workforce and what would actually help it.

Smaller dealerships deserve a stronger hand in the talent market.

SFI saw the strain on local dealerships: they need great people, but larger employers can often offer broader benefits. We created Orlando DRIVE in response.

Our mission is to help smaller dealerships afford, attract, and retain the talent they need through better benefits, education, and training.
