The auto industry continues to evolve rapidly, shaped by shifting consumer expectations, regulatory changes, and economic uncertainty. For Ontario auto dealerships, staying competitive means being proactive—not just reactive. SB Partners LLP, in collaboration with the Ontario Auto Dealers Association (OADA), offers the MORE Auto Dealerships™ program to help dealers navigate these challenges with confidence.
What is the MORE Auto Dealerships™ Program?
MORE is a customized advisory and diagnostic tool designed specifically for Ontario auto dealers. It includes a 140-question assessment that covers key areas such as taxation, succession planning, technology integration, and personal financial alignment. The goal is to uncover hidden risks, identify missed opportunities, and create a strategic roadmap for long-term success.
Why It Matters in 2026
With new regulations like OMVIC’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program and upcoming auto insurance reforms, dealerships must stay ahead of compliance and consumer expectations. The MORE program helps businesses prepare for these changes while improving operational efficiency and financial performance.
