A corporate resolution is a formal written decision adopted by a board or shareholders to authorize a specific action. It provides authority for officers to act on behalf of the company.
Signatories typically include the chair of the board, a corporate secretary, and officers authorized by the board. If the action involves loans, contracts, or changes in ownership, ensure the signers have the authority defined in bylaws and resolutions.
Timing varies with complexity, but a straightforward resolution can be prepared in a few days. More complex actions may require review by counsel and multiple board or member approvals.
