A corporate resolution is a formal written document that records a decision made by the board or shareholders. It authorizes actions such as entering into contracts, approving loans, or appointing officers. The resolution serves as evidence of the decision and helps protect against disputes by providing a clear record.
Signatures from appropriate officers or directors are typically required. In some cases, notarization or a corporate seal is used.
While not legally required in all situations, having a lawyer draft or review resolutions reduces risk and ensures compliance with California law.
