A corporate resolution is a formal written decision approved by the board or shareholders that authorizes a specific corporate action. It is used to authorize contracts, approvals, or other actions on behalf of the company. The document should include the action, the date, the meeting reference, and the signatures of the required parties to ensure enforceability.
Typically, board members or shareholders with voting rights approve resolutions, depending on the corporation’s governance documents. If an action falls within delegated authority, an authorized officer may sign on behalf of the company with proper authorization. The process aims to reflect the decision accurately and legally.
Resolutions are often required for entering into contracts, approving significant transactions, or making governance changes. Having a written resolution provides a clear record for enforcement, audits, and future reference.
