Local economy
The Oklahoma City economy
Energy remains a pillar, with oil and natural gas producers and a large network of oilfield service and equipment firms. Tinker Air Force Base is a major employer, maintaining military aircraft and supporting aerospace contractors nearby. The FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center adds aviation training and services. As the state capital, the city hosts government agencies, and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center anchors medicine. Stockyards City reflects a long cattle-trading history. A revitalised downtown, Bricktown and neighbourhoods like Midtown support restaurants, bars and entertainment businesses.
Oil prices move the local economy more than most owners would like. When prices fall, drilling slows and oilfield suppliers feel it quickly. Lenders are familiar with this cycle, but they may ask how you have handled downturns before. Spreading revenue across more customers and keeping a credit line in place are common strategies here.

FAQ
Oklahoma City funding questions
My oilfield service company has uneven revenue. What product fits?
A line of credit or factoring usually works better than fixed daily payments. Lenders will review your customer mix and how revenue has trended through recent price changes, so bring statements covering at least a year.
I do contract work at Tinker AFB. Can I factor government invoices?
Some factors specialise in federal receivables. Setup requires an assignment of claims and extra paperwork, so start early if you expect to need it. Ask each provider how long verification of a government invoice usually takes.
What free resources exist for Oklahoma City businesses?
The SBA Oklahoma District Office covers the city, and the Oklahoma Small Business Development Center network offers free advising statewide. Counsellors can help with cash-flow projections and reviewing the terms of an offer.
Do you work with businesses in Edmond, Norman and Moore?
Yes. We work with businesses throughout the Oklahoma City metro and the rest of Oklahoma. The application is the same wherever you are, and lenders care far more about your revenue and records than your ZIP code.
