According to a Forbes Advisor article, Oklahoma City is among the least risky cities in the U.S. for starting a small business. Ranked No. 2 on the list, the city stands out due to the likely lower costs for supplies and equipment as well as reduced rates of cybercrime and retail crime. Additionally, Oklahoma City’s above-average GDP growth and positive population growth bolster its appeal.
The broader Oklahoma Metro Area shares these advantages, making it a favorable environment for new businesses to thrive. Overall, the economic stability and supportive conditions in Oklahoma City create an ideal setting for entrepreneurs.
