BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Scott Zack, a Bloomfield Hills, Michigan investor and the owner of Creek Equity, has published "A Succession Planning Guide for Michigan Business Owners: How to Prepare, Value, and Sell the Company You Built," now available as a Kindle book on Amazon.— Scott Zack, owner of Creek Equity
The guide is written for owners of established Michigan companies who expect to retire or step back in the next several years. It draws on Zack's articles about preparing a company for sale, how buyers value a small business, what buyers look at in the financials, how to read the terms of an offer, selling to a management team, and what happens to employees after a sale.
"Most owners start planning the year they want to sell, and by then the options are narrow," said Scott Zack, owner of Creek Equity. "I wrote this for the Michigan owner who still has three or five years. That time is worth more than anything a buyer will put on the table."
About 23 percent of Michigan business owners are 65 or older, and roughly half of businesses have no formal succession plan. In November 2026 Creek Equity launched the Creek Equity Michigan Succession Initiative, a dedicated effort to acquire founder-owned and family-owned Michigan companies as their owners retire, with a commitment to keep them in Michigan, retain their employees and hold them for the long term.
The articles in the guide are also free to read at creekequity.com/succession-guide, with a five-year checklist at scottzackmi.com/succession-planning-guide.
