A corporate resolution is a formal written record adopted by the board or members that authorizes a specific action, contract, or corporate step.
We tailor resolutions to the entity type, whether a corporation, limited liability company, or nonprofit, and align them with governing documents and applicable law.
Resolutions are adopted motions that specify the action to be taken, the individuals authorized to act, and the effective date.
The core components include the authorization, the names of signatories, the date, the specific action, and the record of approval in the corporate minutes.

A corporate resolution is a formal written decision adopted by a board or members to authorize a specific corporate action. It creates a clear official record of who can act and what actions are permitted. These resolutions help align governance with legal requirements and lender expectations.
Typically, officers or directors with designated signing authority can sign corporate resolutions. The entity’s governing documents and any internal policies will guide who is authorized.
Notarization may be required for certain banking arrangements or if mandated by lenders or state law. We can advise on when notary services are appropriate.
Timeline depends on the complexity of the action and the number of signatories. A straightforward resolution can be completed quickly, while multi-party actions may take longer.
Yes. Banks often require a formal resolution to establish signers and authorize account actions. We draft resolution language that bank policies can accept.
Resolutions can be amended or repealed by following the same formal process used to adopt them, or by passing a new resolution that supersedes the prior one.
Store resolutions with corporate records, minutes, and key contracts so they are accessible for audits and due diligence. We can organize a secure filing system.
Resolutions complement bylaws but do not automatically change them. If necessary, ensure consistency across governing documents through a coordinated review.
If there are multiple signatories, a resolution can designate alternative signatories or define an ordering of authority to prevent delays.
