A corporate resolution is a formal document that records decisions by your board or members, authorizing actions such as signing agreements, approving loans, or transferring funds.
Proper resolutions reflect your governing documents, comply with state law, and preserve a clear trail of authorization for future reference.
In California, a corporate resolution is a written decision adopted by the board or by the members of the company. It documents who is authorized to act and the limits of that authority.
Common elements include the date, the purpose of the action, names of directors or members, the specific authority granted, signatures, and the effective period. The drafting process typically starts with a draft, moves through approval, and ends with formal execution and filing in corporate records.
Here are some essential terms and brief definitions to help you understand corporate resolutions.
