A corporate resolution is a formal document approved by a company’s board or members authorizing a specific action.
This process helps ensure actions are properly authorized, recorded, and enforceable across transactions and agreements.
A corporate resolution records approval of an action, including the action, effective date, and authorized signatories, and is kept in the corporate records.
Typical elements include the action, the date, the governing body approving it, required signatures, and a description of authority granted. The process involves drafting, approval, and archival in corporate records.

A corporate resolution is a formal document that records approval by the governing body. It authorizes a specific action, such as signing a contract or opening a bank account. The resolution should describe the action, effective date, and the signatories, and it becomes part of the company’s official records for future reference and compliance.
The board of directors or shareholders approve the resolution, depending on who has authority under the bylaws and the action being taken. In some cases, written consent is used instead of a meeting.
Notarization is not always required, but some lenders or jurisdictions may require it for certain actions or record-keeping needs.
Timeline varies with complexity and approvals. Simple actions can be completed quickly, while larger transactions may take longer to finalize.
A resolution typically includes the action description, effective date, authorized signatories, and a statement of authority. It should reference the bylaws and any related agreements.
Yes. A resolution can be amended by adopting a new resolution or a written amendment signed by authorized parties. Ensure the amendment is properly recorded.
Not always. Some actions may be authorized by written consent if permitted by the bylaws or corporate governance policies.
Resolutions are stored in the company’s corporate records, with copies provided to lenders, auditors, directors, and officers as needed.
If multiple approvals are required, coordinate all parties and reflect them in a single resolution or through carefully linked documents.
