AFSL-Licensed for Business Valuations — Most Advisers Aren't
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.
Who We Work With
Business Owners Preparing to Sell
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.
Disputes, Divorce & Legal Cases
Shareholder disputes, family law proceedings, partnership dissolutions, and litigation all require court-admissible valuation reports. We provide independent expert evidence that holds up.
Capital Raises & Investor Readiness
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.
Internal Corporate Transactions
Examples include valuations for businesses licensing or selling intellectual property to an overseas parent, and capital restructuring.
Why Clients Choose Sherwood for Their Business Valuation
Most business owners only go through a formal valuation once or twice in their lifetime. Getting it wrong — whether you're underselling, over-claiming to investors, or presenting a weak report in a dispute — has real consequences.
At Sherwood, we've delivered 250+ business valuations across every sector and situation. We know what buyers, investors, courts, and the ATO need to see — and we build every report to hold up under scrutiny.
Every Business, Every Situation
From owner-operated businesses preparing for sale to complex litigation, restructuring and capital raises. Same depth, same rigour, every time.
Built to Withstand Scrutiny
Our reports are designed for real-world use — buyer due diligence, investor meetings, court proceedings, ATO compliance. They hold up when it matters.
Reports Within
14 Days
Most business valuations are completed within 14 days after receiving the requested information. We work to your timeline — including express turnaround where needed.
