A corporate resolution is a formal document recording a decision by a company’s board or managing body to authorize a specific action.
These resolutions create an official paper trail for actions such as approving debt, signing contracts, or issuing new equity.
In essence, a corporate resolution is a written record that identifies the action, names the officers authorized to execute it, and notes the date and board vote.
Key elements include the action description, authorized signatories, meeting details, and the proper filing into the company records to maintain authority and accountability.
Common terms you may encounter include resolution, quorum, minutes, and authority to act.
A formal decision or authorization approved by the board or members of the company.
The power granted to officers or agents to act on behalf of the company under a resolution.
The minimum number of directors or members needed to validly conduct business.
A written record of the actions taken during a board or committee meeting.
While resolutions are a common mechanism for authorizing actions, alternatives include board consents, memos, or written consents for specific deals.
In simple deals, a concise resolution with clear authority can be faster and easier to audit.
If a company already maintains documented authorization, extending it to the specific action can be enough.
