A corporate resolution is a formal document adopted by the board or shareholders that authorizes a specific action, such as signing a contract or opening a bank account. It confirms who may act on behalf of the company and sets the effective date. Resolutions create an official governance record that can be relied upon by lenders, regulators, and business partners.
You typically need a resolution when the action involves a transaction outside routine authority, changes in signatories, or major contracts. For small or routine matters, a signed consent or simplified documentation may suffice, depending on the bylaws and state rules.
The person or role authorized to sign will be named in the resolution; commonly an officer such as the president or treasurer. Ensure the signatories have authority under the resolution and the bylaws to avoid disputes.
