A corporate resolution is a formal document approved by a company’s board of directors to authorize a specific action. This document provides evidence of authority for officers, banks, and regulators, helping to prevent disputes and delays.
Typically the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or other officers may sign a resolution if authorized by the board. Directors may also sign when the board provides authority. Confirm your company’s bylaws and any bank requirements.
Not always, but some banks and jurisdictions require notarization or attestation for added reliability. Check with your bank and the governing authority to know what is needed for your situation.
The timeline depends on complexity and coordination with stakeholders; simple actions can take a week or two. More complex actions or regulatory filings may take longer, but we work to keep you informed.
Bylaws provide the framework for authority; resolutions should align with existing provisions and may require updates. We help identify whether current bylaws cover the proposed actions and draft amendments if needed.
A resolution can authorize issuance or modification of stock within the scope of corporate powers. It does not grant powers beyond what the articles or bylaws permit; we ensure compliance.
Yes, a single resolution can cover multiple actions if clearly stated and within authorized authorities. Alternatively, separate resolutions can be drafted for clarity and auditability.
