A corporate resolution is a formal written decision adopted by the board or members to authorize a specific action. It creates a clear record of authority and helps ensure that actions are legally binding and properly documented.
Signing typically includes officers authorized in your bylaws or by the board, such as the president, secretary, or treasurer. We help ensure the right signers are listed and that signatures are obtained in the proper manner.
