Small Businesses in Oklahoma

It is difficult to start and manage a small business in Oklahoma. More than $45,238,063,000.00 US dollars is spent on employee salaries/payroll alone in this state, and every year, more than 15,129 companies declare bankruptcy. Although grants from the federal government are not available publicly for the expansion or creation of businesses, Oklahoma grants some small business grants that small business owners can use to help them start and grow their ventures.
