A corporate resolution is a formal written decision adopted by the board of directors or shareholders that authorizes specific actions on behalf of the company. It provides a clear record of who may act and under what authority. This helps ensure that contracts, banking relationships, and governance changes are properly authorized and documented.
Typically, the board or a designated committee approves resolutions. Management or counsel may prepare drafts for review and then circulate them for approval before signing. The final approved resolution serves as the official record of authority.
Minutes and a referenced resolution often accompany each action to provide context and a complete record for auditors and regulators. Maintaining both improves governance and traceability.
In some cases, a single director can adopt a resolution if permitted by the bylaws or governing documents; in others, a full board or committee is required. Always check the company’s governing rules.
Include the action being approved, the company name, date of adoption, signatories, effective date, and any conditions. Also note the meeting details, vote outcome, and references to related bylaws or governing documents.
Timeframes vary with complexity. Simple actions may be completed within a few days; more involved actions can take weeks. Our team can help by providing ready-to-use templates and a clear plan.
Usually, a resolution does not automatically affect ongoing agreements, but it can authorize changes that impact contracts. We review for consistency and advise accordingly.
Store the originals in the corporate record book and keep copies with your secretary or legal counsel. Maintain secure backups and ensure ready access for officers, lenders, and regulators.
