A corporate resolution is a formal record of a decision made by a company’s board of directors or members. It authorizes actions, confirms approvals, and sets terms for the conduct of business.
In California, properly adopted resolutions help avoid disputes and support enforceable corporate actions, from financing to appointments and major policy changes.
Resolutions are official written records that capture the who, what, when, and why of a business decision, and they should be signed by the appropriate leaders and filed with corporate records.
Typical resolutions identify the company, the decision, the date, the authority granted, and any conditions. The process usually involves board or member approval, proper notice, and timely documentation and filing.
