Don't go to market guessing. Know your number before a buyer sets it for you.
Most owners only sell once. Walking into negotiations without an independent, defensible valuation hands the advantage to the buyer — and their advisers. Sherwood Australia delivers AFSL-licensed sale valuations that give you a credible number, protect your position, and help buyers move quickly.
Online calculators and broker "appraisals" give you a headline number to win your listing — not a number that survives scrutiny. When a serious buyer runs due diligence, an unsupported figure collapses, and you either drop your price or lose the deal.
An independent, AFSL-licensed valuation does the opposite. It anchors your asking price in real evidence — comparable transactions, normalised earnings, and a documented methodology — so you negotiate from strength and the number holds up when it's tested.
It's the difference between hoping for a price and defending one.
Price too high and you stall the market; too low and you leave money on the table. A defensible valuation sets the number that attracts buyers and holds under negotiation.
Buyers and their advisers pressure-test every assumption. A documented, independent report withstands that scrutiny instead of unravelling under it.
When you can show exactly how the value was derived, you shift the conversation from opinion to fact — and keep control of the deal.
Understanding your value drivers early lets you improve them before you go to market — often the difference between a good exit and a great one.
Every Sherwood valuation is professionally prepared, independently reviewed, and built for a real transaction.
An investment-grade report suitable for buyer negotiations, broker packs, and due-diligence rooms.
Full transparency on the approach, the earnings normalisations, and how the conclusion was reached.
Benchmarking against relevant comparable transactions and market data — locally and globally — to anchor the number.

"Anthony managed the entire sales process while I kept running the business. We achieved far better terms and a higher value than I'd hoped for. Without question the best decision I made."
"The valuation prepared by Anthony and the Sherwood team gave us real leverage in our Series A discussions. It was robust, defensible, and tailored to the reality of early-stage MedTech — exactly what we needed."
"We approached multiple firms, but most wouldn't touch our company due to its complexity. Sherwood not only took it on — they delivered a valuation that gave us a solid footing in debt negotiations."
