Walk into the raise with a number investors respect — and you can defend.
Your pre-money valuation sets your dilution, your terms, and the tone of every investor conversation. Sherwood Australia prepares independent, AFSL-licensed valuations for seed, Series A/B, and later-stage raises — so you negotiate from evidence instead of a founder's estimate.
Investors do this for a living. If your valuation is a round number with a story attached, they'll discount it — and you'll give away more of your company than you needed to.
An independent valuation changes the dynamic. When you can show how the number was derived — comparable rounds, forecast economics, risk-adjusted for stage — you anchor the conversation and negotiate from strength.
And because Sherwood holds an AFSL, the valuation is professionally indemnified and legally defensible — credibility that matters when sophisticated investors are on the other side of the table.
Seed, Series A/B, bridge, and later-stage rounds — with the methodology calibrated to your stage and evidence base.
Where standard multiples fall short, we apply income, market, and relief-from-royalty approaches to value what really drives the company.
A report written for the audience across the table — clear enough to build trust, rigorous enough to survive diligence.
No conflicts, fully compliant under AFSL 563351 — the independence investors expect to see.
Investment-grade and investor-ready — suitable for term-sheet discussions and due diligence.
Full transparency on the approach, forecasts, and risk-adjustment behind the pre-money number.
Benchmarking against comparable rounds and transactions — locally and globally.
