Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program
Supporting Tulsa Small Businesses

- Have a 3-year average annual sales volume of <$3 million or construction income <$5 million
- Be a for-profit, independently owned business, with a physical address in Tulsa, Osage, Rogers, Pawnee, Wagoner, Creek or Okmulgee County.
- Be able to perform work independently or as a subcontractor, and where required, have a license or certificate to practice.
