Balbir Sohi, from Brampton, ON, asked for $40,000 for 10% of Smiles on Wheels, a mobile dental hygiene service that provides preventative oral care in a fully equipped truck at homes, offices or workplaces. The fee is about $90 per visit, roughly 30% cheaper than typical dentist fee guides, and the business handles insurance claims directly for clients. Balbir has run the single truck for three years, expects $225,000 in revenue this year up from $165,000 last year while working part time, is seeking to fund a second truck, and hopes to eventually franchise the concept at a proposed franchise fee of $120,000 to $140,000.
Wes Hall went out saying he thought another dragon had a strong offer already on the table. Michele Romanow and Joe Mimran each offered $40,000 for 10%. Jim Treliving offered $240,000 for 25% to fund more trucks immediately, and Manjit Minhas offered $40,000 for 7%. Balbir Sohi accepted Jim Treliving's offer of $240,000 for 25%.
