A corporate resolution is a formal written document issued by a company’s board or members authorizing a specific action. It serves as official evidence of authority and limits who can act on behalf of the company. In many cases, it helps banks, lenders, vendors, and partners verify who may sign documents on behalf of the company.
Resolutions are commonly required when opening bank accounts, entering into contracts, approving loans, or changing officers. Your governing documents or bylaws may specify when a board or member vote is needed, and a properly drafted resolution ensures proper authorization.
Typically, officers with designated authority sign resolutions, and the board or a committee approves them. In some structures, a corporate secretary or legal counsel facilitates the process to ensure accuracy and compliance.
While some small actions can be documented with simple forms, a lawyer helps ensure compliance with governing documents, filings, and contract requirements. A tailored resolution minimizes risk and aligns with your business needs.
