A corporate resolution is a formal document that records a decision or action taken by a companys board of directors or shareholders.
It defines who has authority, sets the scope of the action, and helps ensure proper corporate governance.
Resolutions translate decisions into written authority, from approving contracts to selecting official officers, and they become part of the official corporate records.
A typical resolution includes the meeting date, the decision statement, who is authorized to act, and the signatures of those approving the action.

A corporate resolution is a formal written record of a decision made by a corporation’s board or shareholders. It authorizes actions such as entering into contracts or approving substantial expenditures and becomes part of the company’s official records.
Typically board members or shareholders approve resolutions, depending on the action and the bylaws. In some cases, written consents may be used when allowed by governing documents.
