AFSL-licensed valuations of businesses, IP and AI technology. IP licensing and IP sales advisory when you're ready to act.
Sherwood Australia is an IP-specialist corporate finance firm. Every engagement starts with knowing what your business or IP is worth, which is why AFSL-licensed valuations are at the core of what we do. From there, we help you commercialise that value: structuring licensing deals, running IP sales, and advising on the transactions that capture what you've built.
Independent, defensible valuations accepted by investors, acquirers, the ATO and the courts. Prepared in accordance with APES 225 and International Valuation Standards by an AVI Certified Business Valuer (AVI 20281).

I started this firm because I genuinely care about helping business owners make the right decisions at critical moments — whether it's understanding what their business or IP is worth, licensing it on the right terms, or selling it well. These are big, personal milestones, and it's not always easy to know what path to take.
