Success Stories:

Midtown Optical

I wanted to start my business, but needed help putting together my business plan for commercial financing. My banker recommended going to the Oklahoma Small Business Development Center. My Oklahoma SBDC advisor and I walked through this process, and afterward my expectations about starting and building a business were more realistic. I had a clearer sense of financial expectations in terms of sales and costs. That process helped me start with a good foundation. I was able to get the loan, and now have been in business for 10 years!
