A corporate resolution is a formal written decision that authorizes specific actions by the company. It records who approved the action, the scope of authority, and when it takes effect. The resolution should specify the actions to be taken and any conditions or limitations on authority.
Typically, resolutions are signed by directors or officers authorized by bylaws. In some governance structures, shareholders may sign if required by the operating framework. The signing process confirms approval and binds the company to the actions.
