A corporate resolution is a formal written record of a decision by the board of directors or shareholders.
It documents the action, the date, the parties authorized to act, and the scope of authority granted to management or officers.
Resolutions are used to authorize contracts, loans, appointments, and other corporate actions, ensuring all parties understand who has authority and what actions are approved.

A corporate resolution is a written document that records a decision by the board or shareholders and authorizes a specific action. It confirms who may act and what actions are approved.
Authority to act typically rests with directors, managers, or officers as defined by the governing documents. It is important to verify who has the power to sign and execute.
Turnaround time varies with complexity and speed of input. Simple resolutions may take a few days, while complex actions can take longer depending on approvals.
Templates can be helpful for standard actions, but customized drafting ensures accuracy, compliance, and alignment with governance documents.
Keep final resolutions, signed copies, and records of related agreements. Maintain a secure, organized filing system for easy retrieval during audits.
Minutes are the formal record of meetings. A resolution is the action approved, while minutes document the discussion and votes around that action.
Not every action requires board approval. Typical authority may be delegated, with limits set by governing documents.
Store resolutions in your corporate records, whether physical files or secure digital storage with proper backups.
Resolutions can be amended or updated with proper board or member approval and documentation of the changes.
