A corporate resolution is a formal written authorization approved by the board or shareholders to take a specific action on behalf of the company. It sets the scope of authority and ensures the decision is documented and legally enforceable. The resolution helps prevent confusion about who can bind the company and under what terms.
Signatories typically include officers or directors authorized by the resolution itself, with witnesses or corporate records supporting their authority. In some cases a written consent from all members may suffice instead of a meeting.
Processing times vary by complexity, the number of approvals needed, and the availability of signatories. A straightforward action may be issued within a few days, while more complex matters can take longer.
Templates can provide a starting point, but resolutions often require customization to reflect the company’s governing documents, authority limits, and specific terms. Custom drafting helps ensure accuracy and enforceability.
