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 Proceedings
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.
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 IP-rich startups and complex litigation. 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.
Specialists for Complex Cases
IP assets, R&D pipelines, AI platforms, biotech, and clinical-stage businesses — we're one of the few firms in Australia equipped to handle these correctly.
AFSL-Licensed & Independent
No conflicts of interest. No shortcuts. Fully licensed under AFSL 563351. Independent advice that's always in your interest.

Every Sherwood valuation is professionally prepared, independently reviewed, and built for your specific purpose — whether that's a sale, capital raise, dispute, or compliance requirement.
Written Valuation Report
A comprehensive, investment-grade report suitable for buyer negotiations, investor presentations, court proceedings, or ATO compliance.
