DECA Dental Group receives Dallas 100 Entrepreneur Award for the 21st fastest growing privately held company in the Dallas area.
Dallas, TX, December 23, 2016 (Newswire.com) - SMU’s Cox School’s Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship recognizes DECA Dental Group as the 21st fastest-growing privately held company in the Dallas area on Tuesday, November 29 at the 26th Annual SMU Cox Dallas 100 Awards held at the Omni Dallas hotel.
“We are very pleased with our success over the past three years. DECA is honored to be presented with this award and we look forward to its growth in 2017. This is just the beginning,” said Dr. Sulman Ahmed, founder and CEO of DECA Dental.
This year, DECA launched 25 new practices throughout Texas including Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio and Houston. Most of the new offices opened up under their flagship brand, Ideal Dental. DECA says that they have no plans of slowing down and will continue its exponential growth in 2017.
The Dallas 100 Entrepreneur Award recognizes and encourages entrepreneurs who contribute to the economic growth of our region with their vision and hard work.
The Caruth Institute ranks the top 100 Dallas entrepreneurial companies based entirely on increased growth in sales, giving weight to percentage of growth and absolute dollar growth over the previous three years. To be considered for the award, a company must be an independent, privately held corporation, proprietorship or partnership (not a subsidiary of a parent company) with sales between $500,000 to $78,000,000. Based on that criteria; a computer tabulates the results and ranks the companies from 1 to 100. Unlike many competitions, the Dallas 100 doesn’t use judges, testimonies or other subjective judging methods.
