A corporate resolution is a written document approved by a company’s board or shareholders that authorizes a specific action. It sets the scope, date, and parties involved and provides clear authority for an action such as signing a contract.
A resolution is typically needed for major transactions, contracts, or changes in signatories. For routine actions, a written consent or simple resolution may suffice depending on the company size and governing documents.
Signatories are individuals designated to bind the company. The resolution should specify who has authority and the limits of that authority to avoid unintended commitments.
