A corporate resolution is a formal record of action approved by the board or a committee. It authorizes specific actions such as signing contracts, borrowing funds, or approving major transactions. Resolutions provide clear authority, help avoid disputes, and become part of the corporate minute book for future reference and compliance.
Typically, the chair, president, treasurer, secretary, or other officers authorized by the bylaws or a board resolution may sign on behalf of the corporation. The specific individuals must be identified in the authorization section of the resolution and matched with the corporate records.
A good resolution includes the title, the action authorized, any conditions, the date, and the signatures. It may reference related bylaws, prior approvals, voting results, and where to file in the corporate records.
Turnaround depends on the complexity of the matter and client feedback. Simple resolutions can be drafted in a few days, while more complex actions may take longer. We provide drafts for review and aim for timely delivery while ensuring accuracy.
