Tell us what needs valuing. Anthony Vago will be in touch, no obligation.
Pre-revenue software, early-stage IP and R&D-stage technology have no trading record, so the usual shortcuts do not apply. Valuing them takes specialist judgement and evidence that will stand up when it is tested. Sherwood Australia prepares AFSL-licensed valuations of these assets with every input documented.
A number that rests on optimism is easy to challenge. A number that rests on evidence, with every assumption stated and explained, is not.
We select the valuation method case by case, based on the asset, its stage, the evidence available and the purpose of the valuation.
The result is a value that can be traced back to its evidence, which is what a board, a counterparty or a regulator will ask for.
Platforms, applications and code bases that are built or part-built and not yet earning.
R&D-stage and clinical-stage technology, where years of development sit ahead of the first sale.
Prototypes, designs, processes and technical know-how developed in-house.
Patents, trade marks and other rights held before the product reaches the market.
The market value of the asset at the valuation date, in a report prepared to APES 225 and International Valuation Standards.
A clear review of the asset, its development history and its stage, drawn from your own records.
Every assumption and adjustment stated and explained, so the value can be defended.
A report your accountant, lawyer or board can rely on, with a debrief on the findings.
We confirm the asset, the purpose of the valuation and the valuation date.
A structured request for the records relevant to the asset, shared securely at your own pace.
We prepare the valuation and document every assumption.
We walk you and your advisers through the findings and deliver the written report.
We provide the independent market value and the report that supports it. Sherwood Australia is not a tax adviser, and our valuation reports are not tax, legal or investment advice. See also IP valuation, software and IP transfers and AI and technology valuation.

"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."
