From valuation to value captured
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.
AFSL-licensed valuations
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).

How can Sherwood help?
Every owner's path is different: a defensible valuation for the ATO, a licensing deal that funds growth, or the sale of the IP itself. Wherever you are, we start with what the asset is worth and build the right strategy from there.
Why partner with Sherwood Australia?
When you partner with Sherwood, you get more than just financial advice — you get a team that’s invested in your success. We bring experience, fresh thinking, and a genuine commitment to helping you grow. Whether you're planning your next move or navigating a big decision, we’re here to guide you through it.
Practical
We make things happen — no fluff, no jargon, just straightforward, actionable advice that makes sense for your business.
Experienced
While most business owners only go through a major deal once or twice, we’ve done it many times — across industries and stages of growth.
Expert
Most advisers treat IP as a line item on a balance sheet. We've spent decades valuing, licensing and selling it, and we know how buyers, investors and the ATO will test the numbers.
Locally global
We have the best interests of Australian businesses at heart, but we think globally — and we’ll chase international partnerships if that’s where the value is.
Hi, I'm Anthony Vago, Founder and Managing Director of Sherwood Australia.
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.
That’s where our team comes in. At Sherwood Australia, we tailor our advice to your unique situation and goals — and we stick by your side every step of the way. Our role isn’t just to run the numbers; it’s to protect your interests in a market full of competing agendas.
That’s why we chose the name Sherwood. In a world of complexity and pressure, we’re here to stand up for you — and for the business you’ve built.
