A corporate resolution is a formal action adopted by a board or shareholders authorizing a specific business decision. It creates a clear record of who approved the action, when it was authorized, and under what authority.
Typically, directors or the shareholders meeting authorize resolutions. Depending on the governing documents, authority may be delegated to officers for routine matters.
You can prepare a resolution yourself, but having a lawyer review ensures alignment with bylaws, filings, and applicable California law.
A resolution should include the action being approved, date, voting outcome, attendees, and any conditions or effective dates.
Processing times vary with complexity and approvals needed, but a typical draft can take several days to a couple of weeks.
Amendments can be drafted to update the record and reflect new approvals, with updated minutes and filings.
In most cases, resolutions do not change ownership but may affect voting rights or officers, depending on the action.
Limited scope resolutions can be used for specific matters, but they must stay within the authority granted by bylaws and law.
We keep governance documents and resolutions in secure, organized corporate records, ready for audits.
