A corporate resolution is a written record of a deliberate action approved by the board or members. It authorizes a specific course of action on behalf of the company. The document serves as official evidence of authority for contracts, banking, and major transactions and helps ensure governance and compliance.
Typically, the board of directors or the members must approve the resolution, according to the governing documents. In some routine matters, officers with delegated authority may sign off, but major actions usually require formal consent.
Yes. A resolution can be amended or rescinded with proper board approval and updated records. Amendments should be recorded in the corporate books and cross-referenced with the original resolution.
Not every resolution requires notarization; internal governance often does not. Some banks or regulatory filings may request notarized or certified copies. We can advise on when notarization or certification is appropriate for your situation.
Drafting time depends on complexity and client responsiveness. We aim to deliver accurate, compliant resolutions promptly to support your deadlines.
If there are multiple signers, the resolution should specify who has authority and in what capacity. We prepare multi-signature resolutions and ensure proper recording of all authorized signatories.
Yes. Banks often require resolutions to authorize account openings, signers, or changes in signatory authority. A clearly drafted resolution streamlines banking and lender reviews.
