A corporate resolution is a formal written document that authorizes a specific action by a company’s board or officers. It records who approves the action, the date, and the scope of authority. This creates a clear record for governance and accountability. Having a properly drafted resolution helps ensure that actions are legally authorized and properly documented for lenders, regulators, and internal stakeholders.
Typically, signatures come from designated officers such as the President, Secretary, or other authorized directors. In some cases, a board resolution appoints who can sign on behalf of the company. Always ensure signatories have authority under the company’s governing documents.
A written consent is often used for actions that do not require a formal meeting of the board, such as routine approvals or unanimous consent items. A board resolution is used for significant actions that require formal board consideration and record-keeping.
Resolutions themselves do not typically expire, but their effectiveness may depend on ongoing governance requirements, specific timeframes, or changes in law. Many companies review resolutions periodically to ensure continued authority.
Lenders commonly request certified copies of board resolutions, accompanying minutes, and evidence that actions were properly authorized. Clear, consistent documentation helps streamline financing processes.
