Yes, for certain matters a written resolution can substitute for a board meeting, when allowed by bylaws and state law. We ensure the approach complies with applicable rules and preserves a proper record.
Drafting timelines vary with complexity, but simple matters can be prepared in a few business days. More complex transactions or cross-border issues may require more time for review and approvals.
A resolution should include the company name, date, the action approved, voting results, and the signatures of authorized officers. It may reference bylaws, the charter, and any related schedules or attachments.
In most cases, resolutions are kept in corporate records rather than filed with the state. Banks, lenders, and investors may request copies, so we maintain ready, compliant versions.
Resolutions can be amended or superseded by subsequent resolutions or minutes documenting the change. We help ensure amendments reflect the original intent and maintain an accurate trail.
Store originals in your corporate records and keep secure digital backups. Organize resolutions by year and matter for easy retrieval.
