A corporate resolution is a formal written decision approved by the board or a committee that authorizes a specific action. It creates an enforceable record of authority for the company. The document typically includes the action, the date, and signatures of authorized directors or officers.
Signatures are usually provided by authorized officers or directors as defined in the bylaws. The resolution is maintained in the corporate records and may be referenced in related filings or notices. Filing requirements vary by action and jurisdiction.
A typical resolution identifies the action, the date of adoption, the directors or officers involved, and the scope of authority granted. It may also reference supporting documents like bylaws or previous resolutions and specify effective dates and expiration, if any.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the action and client readiness. An initial draft can often be prepared within a few business days, followed by review and finalization.
Yes, in some cases a written consent of the board or unanimous written consent can substitute for a formal meeting. However, this depends on the company’s bylaws and state law requirements.
Notarization is not always required. Many resolutions are kept as internal records, but certain actions or filings may call for notarization or official submission to state or regulatory authorities.
Keep the original resolution, the meeting minutes reflecting adoption, current bylaws, and any related documents that authorize the action. Store copies with your corporate records for audits and future reference.
