Before you build: what Loco looks like from a business owner’s chair

Mining, oil and gas are a real industry here: 79 establishments with employees in the 2023 count, far more than the national share. Field crews look for services from a phone, on short notice. Safety credentials and certifications should be on the page, in writing.

If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, state it clearly and make the contact form fast to fill in.

The customers behind the numbers in Loco

Loco is one of 8 municipalities in Stephens County, a county of 44,310 people. Census estimates for a town this size carry a wide margin of error, so the county is the better guide: households have a median income of $61,620, and half the residents are older than 41.0. 86.4% of households have broadband and 17.4% rely on a cellphone data plan alone. 74.4% of households own their home.

Loco by the numbers

Small business websites in Loco: the local business mix

Some of the business types in Stephens County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• Physician practices, 33 in the count. What works online: office hours, locations and what to bring to a first visit.
• Full-service restaurants, 31 in the count. What works online: a menu page you can update by email, your hours and a map, plus a contact form for events and large groups.
• Used car dealers, 9 in the count. What works online: your inventory photos, financing information you are allowed to share and a contact form.
• Insurance agencies, 18 in the count. What works online: the lines you write (auto, home, business, life), the carriers you work with and a quote request form.

Stephens County as a whole had 1,080 employer establishments in 2023 and another 3,341 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Stephens County leans toward oil and gas producers (28 establishments, far more than the national share). For them, operators and suppliers vet contractors carefully, and the website should show your capabilities, safety record and the fields or basins you work in. Next on the list: oilfield and mining support companies, 51 of them, at far more than the national share.

Paperwork and rules for Oklahoma businesses online

These are some of the Oklahoma and federal rules a small business with a website runs into:

• A contact form collects personal information, and Oklahoma has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Security Breach Notification Act, 24 O.S. §§ 161 to 166 (Laws 2008, c. 86; amended by Laws 2025, c. 406, effective January 1, 2026)
• Oklahoma’s state sales and use tax rate is 4.5% of gross receipts from the sale or rental of tangible personal property, and counties and municipalities add their own rates. Since August 2024, food and food ingredients are exempt from the 4.5% state rate but still subject to local rates. Oklahoma Tax Commission

Rules change and details vary by business; this is general information, not legal advice.
