A corporate resolution is a written decision adopted by the board or shareholders authorizing a specific action, such as signing a contract or approving a loan. It provides clarity about who may act and under what terms. The resolution becomes part of the company records and can be referenced in negotiations, audits, and financings to demonstrate the authorized authority.
Typically, directors or officers who are authorized by the resolution or bylaws sign the document. In some cases, shareholders may also need to sign. The exact signatories depend on the structure of the company and the scope of the action.
A clear resolution should state the action, the parties involved, the effective date, and any conditions or limits on authority. It may reference bylaw provisions and attach exhibits such as contracts or loan documents.
