Established through a cooperative agreement with the SBA’s Office of Women’s Business Ownership, the mission of REI 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.
