A corporate resolution is a formal document adopted by the board or members to authorize a specific action on behalf of the company. It records who may sign, the action approved, and the effective date.
Authority typically rests with an authorized signatory or designated officer as defined in the resolution and bylaws. The board or members grant this authority in advance for clear enforcement.
Resolutions are used when formal authorization is required for significant actions, contracts, loans, or changes in leadership. For everyday decisions, simpler approvals may suffice, but resolutions provide a robust record.
A resolution usually states the action, records votes, names signatories, and notes effective dates. It may reference bylaws, related approvals, and filings as needed.
In California, some resolutions or written consents may be kept in corporate records rather than filed with the state. Consult CA law and your corporate secretary to determine filing requirements.
Drafting time depends on complexity, signatories, and approvals. A straightforward resolution can be prepared in a few days, with faster options available if needed.
