About The Kaplan Group

The Kaplan Group
The Kaplan Group was founded in 1991, two years after Jerry Kaplan sold Kaplan & Kaplan Commercial Collections to another leading national agency. After spending twenty years building K&K into one of the country's largest and most prestigious commercial collections agencies, Jerry wanted to get back to providing premier, personalized service that larger collection agencies just can't provide. Thus, The Kaplan Group was formed.


The Kaplan Group provides a variety of commercial collection and consulting services. These include not only outstanding collection services but also training programs and seminars for credit managers and their staffs, as well as debit balance collections and other profit recovery services. We have invested in state-of-the-art equipment, software and databases to provide efficient, effective services, reporting and communication with both clients and debtors. The Kaplan Group is bonded and is a member of numerous professional collection organizations.

We are a highly-skilled team of very experienced business, legal and collection professionals. By having in-house counsel, we have the ability, when appropriate, to easily and efficiently 'escalate' the seriousness of the collection process without any additional cost to our clients. Our mission is to get superior results for our clients, and we have always been successful at this. If your collection needs are best suited for a standard, process approach, with mass-mail programs and large call-centers filled with script reading minimum wage tele-collectors, we are not the right agency for you. If you want a team dedicated to personal, outstanding, results-oriented service, The Kaplan Group is your partner.
