A corporate resolution is a formal written record authorizing a specific action, approved by the board of directors or shareholders.
Resolutions clarify who may sign contracts, authorize loan agreements, approve mergers, or approve major expenditures, ensuring decisions are properly documented.
In essence, a corporate resolution is a legal instrument that captures and memorializes a decision for the company, including the scope of authority and the individuals who may act on the company’s behalf.
Core elements include the meeting context, resolution language, a recorded vote, signatories, and ratification in corporate minutes. The process typically involves drafting, review, approval, and proper filing where required.
Common terms you’ll encounter include board resolution, minutes, authorized signatory, quorum, and corporate action.
