As Southwest Oklahoma’s newest Certified Business Development Center, the CKBDC’s goal is to attract, retain and grow businesses and jobs in the region and in the state.

Candidates must be passionate about their idea and have entrepreneurial capabilities. The business idea must be in a sector that is showing growth with the potential to reach significant revenue levels.

Candidates must be able to put their idea into a competitive, written business plan.

The venture must have the potential to create new jobs and must contribute to the economic growth of the region and of Oklahoma.

Recommendations are made by the Business Development Coordinator to the executive committee.
