A corporate resolution is a formal, written decision by the board or authorized officers that authorizes a specific action. It is used to document consent and authorize actions such as opening accounts, entering contracts, or issuing shares. The document provides a clear record of who is authorized to act and under what terms.
Signatories depend on the governance structure; typically directors or officers with delegated authority sign. If the action requires board approval, the resolution should specify the votes and date. Always align signatories with your bylaws and current authorization lists.
Timeline varies with complexity; simple actions can be completed in days, more complex matters may take weeks. We provide an estimated timeline and keep you informed as the process progresses.
Yes, banks often require a resolution to authorize officers to sign on accounts. We tailor the resolution to meet banking requirements and ensure the language reflects the needed authority.
Include the company name, date, purpose, specific authority, signatories, and effective date. Attach related documents like bylaws or prior resolutions when helpful.
Resolutions do not expire unless the action is time-limited; they may be superseded by updated resolutions. Maintain a current file of active resolutions and note when old ones are revoked.
If bylaws conflict with a resolution, update the resolution or issue a supplementary one approved by the board. Seek legal guidance to ensure alignment with governing documents.
Notarization is not universally required, but some banks or jurisdictions may require it. We advise based on your specific circumstances and jurisdiction.
Written consents can replace meetings for certain actions if allowed by bylaws. We ensure the written consent meets legal requirements and is properly executed.
