IPRG

What IPRG does

IPRG (The Insurance & Payroll Resource Group) is a privately held insurance brokerage and employee benefits consultancy headquartered in Maitland, Florida. The firm serves small to mid-size employers with 5 to 500 employees, providing group insurance consultation and brokerage, benefits administration, compliance support, cost containment strategy, and HR technology consulting. The team is led by founder and Agency President Stephen Holleran (30+ years of industry experience), supported by Louis M. Vogel (Director of Account Management, Technology & Compliance) and Marni Ward (Agent & Benefit Consultant, voluntary benefits specialist). The firm differentiates through a consultative, fully outsourced service model in which IPRG personnel configure and manage benefits administration platforms on behalf of clients rather than handing off technology administration.

The company's underlying technology stack is built on licensed third-party platforms rather than proprietary IP. Core platforms include Employee Navigator and Maxwell Health, which IPRG customizes and deploys for each client, with electronic linking to payroll and carrier eligibility systems. The firm also maintains integration partnerships with major payroll providers (ADP, Paychex, Paylocity, Paycor, Flock), HRIS providers (iSolved), and additional benefits administration platforms (PlanSource, Benefit Focus, Web Benefits Design). Delivered services include employee self-service portals, paperless onboarding, mobile access, regulatory compliance fulfillment, alternate insurance funding strategies, voluntary benefits brokerage, and employee wellness programs.

IPRG operates a sales-led, relationship-based go-to-market concentrated in the Florida market. Revenue is generated primarily through insurance carrier commissions on placed business, supplemented by consulting fees for plan design, cost containment, and compliance work. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting the customized nature of each engagement. The firm markets through its website (goiprg.com), direct contact, and client referrals, with no external institutional funding, no app product, no disclosed revenue figures, and no AI/ML capabilities in its stack.
