Creek Equity launches a Michigan Succession Initiative for retiring business owners

Press release · EIN Presswire

Creek Equity, the Bloomfield Hills private investment company owned by Scott Zack, announced the Creek Equity Michigan Succession Initiative on November 4, 2026. It is aimed at owners of established founder-owned and family-owned Michigan companies who expect to retire or step back in the next few years and want a buyer that will keep the business, its people and its leadership in the state.

The release spelled out what Creek Equity looks for: Michigan companies with $1 million to $10 million of EBITDA, essential-service businesses with durable, recurring revenue in business services, logistics, the built environment and consumer brands, and founder or family ownership with a management team in place or a path to one. Creek Equity generally takes control, and will consider a meaningful minority stake when an owner wants a partner rather than a buyer.

Because Creek Equity invests its own capital rather than money from a fund with a fixed life, it can hold the companies it buys for decades. Owners, advisers and intermediaries can send a short note about a company through creekequity.com/contact, and the first conversation is with Scott Zack himself. Owners who are earlier in their thinking can start with the free fourteen-article succession guide at creekequity.com/succession-guide and the five-year checklist at scottzackmi.com.

The release went out on EIN Presswire at 8:00 am Eastern and was published by 235 news sites, among them 15 Michigan newspapers including the Detroit Free Press, The Detroit News and the Lansing State Journal.
