A corporate resolution is a formal written decision adopted by the board or members and recorded in corporate records. It authorizes a specific action and creates a record for governance and compliance. This answer provides a concise overview to help readers understand when a resolution is used.
A corporate resolution is typically required for actions that go beyond routine approvals. It is common for signing contracts, opening accounts, taking on debt or entering into major agreements. An actual resolution consolidates authorization in a single document.
Usually the board of directors or members approve the resolution, following notice and any required voting rules. In some cases committees or officers may approve certain matters per authority granted by bylaws.
A resolution should identify the action to be taken, the parties involved, any deadlines, and the signatories. It may include recitals and details about the authority granted.
While a lawyer is not always required, having legal counsel helps ensure the resolution complies with applicable laws and aligns with corporate bylaws and governance practices.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the action. Simple matters can take a few days, while complex transactions may require more time for drafting, review and approvals.
Yes. Resolutions can be amended or repealed by the same process used to adopt them, or by board action if authorized by the bylaws.
If there is no quorum for a meeting, the action may be taken by written consent or by the board when a quorum can be achieved or alternative procedures are allowed by the bylaws.
Resolutions are typically filed with corporate records, minutes, and any other required official documents. Copies may be distributed to departments and lenders as needed.
Some lenders require a copy of the resolutions as part of loan documentation. It is helpful to have the resolution approved and available for review by financial partners.
