A corporate resolution is a formal written document that records a decision by the board or members. It authorizes a specific action and serves as official evidence of authority. The resolution should clearly describe the action and the individuals or entities authorized to act.
Resolutions are typically approved by the board of directors or the entitys members depending on the action and governing documents. In many cases a majority vote is required unless bylaws specify a different threshold. The approval should be cited in the minutes and reflected in the resolution itself.
