REI Oklahoma’s Women’s Business Center (WBC) has made a significant impact on over 28,000 entrepreneurs, providing them with top-notch training workshops, business consulting and valuable networking opportunities.

Serving as Oklahoma’s only state-wide Women’s Business Center, it is more than just a center; it’s a community where women find the support, encouragement, strength and answers needed for their entrepreneurial journeys.

The WBC takes pride in being the go-to hub for women in business, and it looks forward to continuing its service to Oklahoma’s enterprising women in the years to come.

Established through a cooperative agreement with the SBA’s Office of Women’s Business Ownership, the mission of REI Oklahoma’s Women’s Business Center is to assist Oklahoma’s entrepreneurial women in exploring the opportunities of starting or expanding a business. The Women’s Business Center’s services are available statewide and have three office locations: Durant, Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
