IPG Franchising Inc. at 800 Celebration Avenue, Unit 202A, Celebration, FL 34747, is a vacation rental company that collaborates with investors and helps entrepreneurs establish and manage a vacation rental business.

The company reported 50 to 99 creditors and estimated assets valued between $0 and $50,000. Liabilities are estimated between $1 million and $10 million. The filings indicate the company owes substantial sums to numerous business partners and investors.
The Chapter 11 filing by IPG Franchising Inc. represents a significant escalation of investor losses. With minimal assets and significant debt, any potential recovery for investors now depends on the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings and restructuring efforts.
