A corporate resolution is a formal document used to authorize actions. It is typically adopted by the board or shareholders and specifies who may act on behalf of the company. Resolutions help reduce ambiguity and provide a clear paper trail.
Typically, officers with delegated authority sign the resolution, such as the president, CEO, treasurer, or secretary. The exact signer depends on the company’s governing documents and practices.
Some matters can be handled with an informal approval, but for most significant actions, a formal resolution provides stronger legal clarity and protection for the company and its officers.
A well drafted resolution clearly states the action, identifies the signer, sets the effective date, and attaches any necessary exhibits or documents. It should be consistent with the company’s governing documents.
Timing varies, but many corporate resolutions can be prepared in a matter of days, depending on complexity and responsiveness of the client and parties involved.
Costs depend on complexity and scope, but we strive to provide clear, upfront estimates and keep you informed throughout the process.
