Debbie Kaplan

Let's connect on LinkedIn! Debbie Zuckerman Kaplan Debbie specializes in accurate business valuations, customized exit strategies, and confidentially connecting sellers with qualified buyers. With over 30 years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies to streamline and optimize operations, Debbie brings a wealth of expertise to every client interaction. Her true passion, however, lies in supporting small business owners. Inspired by her father, who built a small but successful esoteric coagulation lab from the ground up, Debbie understands the dedication and heart it takes to grow a business. This personal connection motivated her to transition from Wall Street to Main Street, where she now focuses on helping entrepreneurs broker deals that honor their hard work and legacy. Debbie chose to affiliate with Transworld Business Advisors because of their global presence, stellar reputation, and commitment to excellence. With over 250 offices worldwide and more than 1,000 brokers, Transworld is a leader in marketing and selling businesses and franchises. Their extensive resources empower Debbie to provide unparalleled support to her clients, helping them navigate the complexities of buying or selling a business. Recognizing that business transitions often stem from life changes such as retirement, relocation, or personal circumstances, Debbie takes a practical, hands-on approach to guiding small to mid-size business owners and franchisors through the process. With a vast network of contacts and resources, she ensures a smooth transition that sets her clients up for success in their next chapter. Debbie is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals and confidently move forward, one successful transition at a time.
