A corporate resolution is a formal written statement authorizing a specific action on behalf of a company. It records who voted, who signed, and when the action was approved. This document creates a clear authority trail for contracts, loans, or changes in leadership.
You typically need a corporate resolution when the company must officially authorize an action that binds the business, such as signing a contract, opening a bank account, or entering into a debt arrangement. If the action falls outside routine operating decisions, a resolution is usually appropriate.
Signatures from the individuals who hold the required authority, such as directors or officers, are needed. The exact signatories depend on the company’s governing documents and applicable law. In California, some actions may also require notarization.
Yes. A corporate resolution can be amended or updated, but the process generally requires board or shareholder approval and proper documentation to reflect the change.
A typical resolution includes the company name, date, a description of the action being approved, the individuals authorized to act, and any required signatures or seals.
Once approved, the resolution is circulated to relevant parties, filed in the corporate records, and used to authorize the specified action. The document should be retained for audits and future reference.
