A corporate resolution is a written document that authorizes a specific action by the company. It records who may act, what action is approved, and when it takes effect. This document provides an official basis for moving forward and helps ensure proper governance.
Signatories typically include officers or board members as defined by the bylaws. The resolution should specify who signs and how it is executed (for example by a corporate seal or multiple signatures). This ensures authority is clear for third parties.
A resolution is usually required for major actions such as opening a bank account, authorizing contracts, or issuing shares. In routine matters delegated by the board, a more limited written authorization may suffice.
Yes, a corporate resolution can be amended or repealed by the board or owners as required. The process typically involves a follow-up resolution or an amendment to existing records.
Not all resolutions require notarization. Notarization may be used for certain banking or regulatory purposes, but many internal actions can be recorded without it. Always check applicable requirements.
A typical resolution includes the title of the action, the date, parties involved, authorized signers, effective date, and governing law. It should reference the bylaws and other governing documents.
A resolution remains valid until the action is completed or until it is revoked or superseded by a new resolution. Keep the records current to avoid ambiguity.
The corporate secretary or a designated records custodian maintains and preserves the official resolutions and related governance documents. Copies should be kept with bylaws and other corporate records.
If a resolution is not properly recorded or signed, actions may lack proper authority, creating risks in contracts and banking. Correcting the records promptly helps restore clarity.
