Find out what your business is really worth. Trusted by owners, investors, and legal teams.
Whether you're preparing to sell, raising capital, resolving a dispute, restructuring, or simply want to know what your business is worth — Sherwood Australia delivers credible, AFSL-licensed business valuations you can act on.
ASIC requires an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) for any valuation involving company equity. Accountants, business brokers, and online valuation tools cannot legally perform equity valuations in Australia — even if they advertise the service.
Sherwood Australia holds AFSL Licence No. 563351, giving you a fully compliant, professionally indemnified, and legally defensible business valuation report — accepted by investors, courts, and the ATO.
Beyond the licence, Sherwood's valuations are prepared in accordance with the principles of APES 225 and the International Valuation Standards — the frameworks the ATO expects to see applied. Engagements are led by Anthony Vago, AVI Certified Business Valuer (AVI 20281).
Get an independent, defensible valuation before you enter negotiations. Know your number, protect your position, and give buyers the credibility they need to move quickly.
Shareholder disputes, family-law proceedings, partnership dissolutions and litigation all require court-admissible valuation reports. We provide independent expert evidence that holds up.
Raising a seed round, Series A, or later-stage capital? Give investors the independently prepared valuation they expect — and negotiate from a position of strength.
Including valuations for businesses licensing or selling IP to an overseas parent, and capital restructuring.
Most business owners only go through a formal valuation once or twice. Getting it wrong has real consequences. We've delivered 250+ business valuations across every sector — built to hold up under scrutiny.
From owner-operated businesses preparing for sale to complex litigation, restructuring and capital raises. Same depth, same rigour, every time.
Designed for real-world use — buyer due diligence, investor meetings, court proceedings, ATO compliance. They hold up when it matters.
Most valuations are completed within 10 business days after receiving the requested information — including express turnaround where needed.
