A corporate resolution is a formal written decision approved by a board of directors or members authorizing a specific action on behalf of the company.
These documents clarify who may act, under what authority, and under which circumstances, helping prevent unauthorized commitments.
Resolutions are concise, precise, and aligned with bylaws and articles of incorporation, ensuring any action is properly authorized.
Key elements include the action being approved, the effective date, signatories, and the scope of authority; the process typically involves drafting, board or member approval, and recording.

A corporate resolution is a formal written decision that authorizes a specific action on behalf of the company. It is typically approved by the board of directors or the members and becomes part of the official corporate records. A well drafted resolution clearly identifies who has authority, what action is approved, and the effective date, helping to prevent disputes and ensure compliance.
Signatures typically come from authorized directors or officers, and in some cases, managers or members may be required by the bylaws. The exact signatories depend on the action and the company’s governing documents. We help you verify authority and prepare signature blocks to match your governance structure.
Preparation time varies by complexity, but straightforward resolutions can be drafted in a few days with quick reviews. More complex actions or those requiring lender or regulator coordination may take longer. We provide a clear timeline and keep you updated at every step.
A written consent can sometimes replace a board meeting for actions that do not require a formal meeting, depending on the bylaws and state law. However, certain actions still require a resolution and proper exercise of authority. Our team reviews the specifics to determine the best approach for your situation.
A typical corporate resolution should specify the action, the parties authorized to act, the effective date, any limitations, and the signatures required. It may also reference bylaws, resolutions previously adopted, and related contracts.
Resolutions are generally kept as part of the corporate records and may be supplied to lenders, banks, or regulators as needed. Filing with state agencies is not usually required unless mandated by specific actions or entities.
Resolutions should be reviewed whenever governance changes occur, such as new officers, updated authorities, or changes in bylaws. Regular reviews help keep records current and reliable.
If a conflict arises, the more recent document or the document that aligns with governing bylaws and current law usually governs. We help identify conflicts and draft amendments as needed.
Yes. We offer ongoing governance support, including drafting new resolutions, updating records, and providing guidance on regulatory changes that affect corporate actions.
