A corporate resolution is a formal document that records a board or member action authorizing a specific business decision.
We help ensure resolutions are precise, compliant with governing documents, and ready for use in contracts and filings.
A corporate resolution documents authorization for a particular action, such as signing a contract, opening a bank account, or approving a loan, and serves as evidence of authority.
A well-crafted resolution includes a clear title, date, action description, voting details, signatures, and any conditions or limitations; the process typically involves drafting, review, approval, and filing as needed.
Key terms include authority, bylaws alignment, quorum, and consent thresholds used to govern corporate actions.
The power granted to act on behalf of the corporation, used to authorize specific actions.

A corporate resolution is a formal document that records a decision by the board or shareholders. It authorizes specific actions on behalf of the company. It provides proof of authority and helps avoid disputes when contracts are signed or agreements are entered.
Use resolutions for major actions: entering contracts, borrowing money, changing officers, or approving mergers. Even simple bank account changes may require a resolution to ensure proper authorization.
Yes, resolutions can be amended or repealed by a subsequent resolution. Keep an up-to-date file with all amendments and ensure the latest version governs actions.
Not always. Notarization is not required for corporate resolutions in many cases, but some banks or authorities may require it. Check the specific requirements of the action and the institution involved.
Typically, directors or officers authorized by the bylaws sign the resolution. The signatures should be dated and witnessed if required.
Maintain the original signed resolution with the minutes of the meeting or written consent. Store copies in the corporate records and with the legal team for audit readiness.
Drafting and approval of a basic resolution can take a few days. More complex actions may require additional time for reviews, signatures, and filings.
If your groups operate as separate corporations or LLCs, each entity may need its own resolution. We help coordinate across entities to ensure consistency.
Yes, resolutions commonly authorize loans, lines of credit, or guarantees. We craft language to clearly describe the financing terms and required approvals.
If a conflict arises, we review the bylaws and governing framework to adjust the resolution accordingly. We can propose amendments or alternative paths to authorize the action while staying compliant.
