A corporate resolution is a formal written decision by the board or authorized committee that approves a specific action on behalf of the company. It documents who approved the action, when it was approved, and under what authority.
Signatures typically come from authorized officers or board members as defined in the governing documents. In some cases, a designated officer or corporate secretary facilitates the signing process.
Notarization is optional in many contexts, but may be requested by lenders or required for certain transactions. It adds an additional layer of verification.
Turnaround time depends on the complexity and the number of entities involved. A simple resolution can take a few days, while more complex matters may take longer.
If multiple entities are affected, separate resolutions may be needed for each entity, or a single coordinating document may be used to align actions.
A typical resolution should identify the action, the effective date, the authorities granted, signatories, and any conditions or limitations.
Electronic signatures are commonly accepted where permitted by law and the governing documents. Some lenders or jurisdictions may require wet signatures.
Store executed resolutions in the company’s official records, with copies provided to lenders, partners, or auditors as needed.
Yes. Resolutions can be amended or revoked by subsequent actions, following the same formal process documented in the corporate records.
