Why This Matters
A dealer fee is a financing charge paid by the contractor to the lender, typically passed along to the homeowner as part of the loan. In SubcontractorHub, admins can choose whether or not this fee appears when selecting manual entry finance options within proposals. Follow the steps below to configure the “Show Dealer Fee” setting for each lender in your database.
Step 1: From the main menu, go to “Manage Database"and select"Lenders”.
